The popular social critic has rejected a police invitation and demanded a proper court trial
Social critic Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has publicly rejected a police invitation on August 27, 2026. After claiming that security forces aid kidnappers at a Port Harcourt summit, he challenged the police to charge him to court for the evidence.
The ongoing clash between Martins Otse and the Nigeria Police Force has taken a new turn. The social critic known as VeryDarkMan has refused an official police invitation.
Authorities asked him to prove his recent bold claims about security agencies. He previously stated that police officers and military men help kidnappers commit crimes. The activist made these claims during the Nigerian Bar Association summit in Port Harcourt.
The Port Harcourt claims
The dispute started on Tuesday, August 27, 2026, at the major legal gathering. Otse accused state security forces of acting as unknown gunmen across the country.
Following the viral video, the police released a formal press statement. They asked the critic to come forward and back up his heavy claims. The force wanted him to provide solid proof of their alleged crimes.
A bold court challenge
Instead of visiting the station, the internet star issued a stern reply. He insisted that a judge must hear the case before he provides any proof.
”To the Nigerian police I SAID WHAT I SAID,you will get your evidence when I am charged to court I repeat THE POLICE ARE THE UNKNOWN gunmen and they aid kinnappngs and the military are also the unknown gunmen….CHARGE ME TO COURT YOU WILL GET THE EVIDENCE THERE.”
The critic wrote this in a bold social media update.
Otse has a long history of calling out powerful people online. His firm stance now puts pressure on law enforcement leaders. The public waits to see if they will actually file charges.
