Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, aka, VeryDarkMan, has been arrested by the police in Abuja on the orders of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), following his public complaints about alleged unauthorised deductions from his mother’s bank account.
Barrister Deji Adeyanju, his lawyer, confirmed the arrest on Friday.
Deji said officers of the Nigeria Police Force arrested his client at Area 3, Abuja.
The arrest was initiated by GTBank after VeryDarkMan made complaints about repeated debits from his mother’s account in the name of loan repayments.
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.”
Recall that the controversial activist took to his social media platforms to express his concerns about multiple deductions from his mother’s account.
In a post that has since gone viral, 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,” he wrote.
“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.”
