A Nigerian bank known as Guaranty Trust Bank Aka (GTB) has arrested a popular social media personality and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan
This follows after the controversial social media influencer publicly complained about alleged unauthorised debits from his mother’s bank account in GTB.
Confirming the arrest to newsmen on Friday, VeryDarkMan Barrister, Deji Adeyanju, said officers of the Nigeria Police Force apprehended his client at Area 3, Abuja.
Adeyanju said, “My client, VeryDarkMan, was arrested today in Abuja by the Nigerian police. His only offence was speaking out about suspicious and repeated debits from his mother’s GTBank account for loans she never took.”
Earlier, VeryDarkMan took to his social media platforms to express his concerns about multiple deductions from his mother’s account after his junior sister drew his attention to it.

In a post that has since gone viral, and was seen by First News correspondent on Friday, he revealed that they visited a GTBank branch in Abuja to demand an explanation and obtain a copy of her bank statement.
“Myself and my mom just arrived at GTBank to get an explanation for the constant debit from her account by GTBank in the name of loan repayments that she never took. In this year alone, see the amount of times she has been debited with different amounts.
“We have requested her bank statements so we know when the debiting started. So far, in this year alone, there have been more than seven debits on loan repayments. GTBank staff are cooperating—hopefully, we’ll know why they keep doing this.”
