Controversial activist, Verydarkman, has allegedly been granted bail, just hours after his latest arrest, marking yet another incident in his frequent run-ins with the law.
Hours ago, it was reported that the police arrested the Abuja-based activist over an undisclosed offense. This latest arrest follows a series of legal troubles he has faced, often sparked by his outspoken critiques and confrontations with high-profile Nigerian personalities.
His arrest had followed his recent online spat with billionaire businessman Obi Cubana and music executive Paulo Okoye. The details of the offense leading to his arrest remain undisclosed, but his clashes with influential figures have been a recurring theme.
According to an online journalist and social commentator @PIDOMNIGERIA, Verydarkman has again been granted bail. This development came to light through a series of tweets, suggesting that some very influential personalities came to the aid of the activist.
