Turns out the internet sensation, Martins Vincent Otse, famously recognized as , was nabbed in a high-profile seizure last Friday, orchestrated by a collaborative effort between the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Police Force, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The arrest transpired at a bank in Area 3, Abuja, amid accusations centering on cyberstalking. Rumors swirl that he endured harsh treatment prior to his apprehension by law enforcement operatives.

Protesters, incensed by the arrest, flooded the streets of Abuja, marching towards the EFCC headquarters in Jabi, brandishing placards bearing a multitude of messages. Their unified cry echoed demands for Otse's release and accusations that this arrest signified the stifling of divergent voices.

An insider within the security community disclosed to The Nation that, "The operation was a joint effort by the DSS, the police, and the EFCC. Several petitions have been lodged against him.

In an intriguing development, it was learned that the EFCC is set to release Otse on today, May 6th, with his court hearing scheduled for Thursday. This decision follows a wave of public criticism, labeling his detention an attack on freedom of speech.

A senior EFCC official explained to Vanguard that the delay in Otse's release was a result of procedural requirements: "VeryDarkMan continues to stay in custody because he has not undergone formal court proceedings."
