A Chief Magistrate’s Court in Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, has summoned controversial blogger, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, over alleged criminal defamation of gospel singer Mercy Chinwo.
The court, in a summons dated March 5, 2025, ordered VDM to appear in person on March 13, 2025, to respond to allegations brought against him by Chinwo.
Chief Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna issued the directive following claims that the blogger made damaging statements about the singer on social media.
The dispute stems from VDM’s online posts, where he accused Chinwo of misappropriating three hundred and forty-five thousand dollars allegedly linked to her former record label boss, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, also known as Eezee Tee.
