Nigerian artist and Marlian Records founder, Afeez Fashola, widely recognized as Naira Marley, has added his voice to the growing chorus on social media calling for the release of popular online commentator, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan.
VeryDarkMan was reportedly detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday, May 2. Since the news broke, widespread attention has followed, with many Nigerians expressing concern and demanding his freedom.
At the time of this publication, the EFCC had not publicly disclosed the reason for Otse’s arrest.
Prior to his detainment, VeryDarkMan had posted a video in which he visited a GTBank branch in Abuja to contest what he described as an unauthorized deduction from his mother’s salary account for a loan she allegedly did not take.
His arrest has triggered significant backlash online, with fans, activists, and public figures rallying behind him.
Joining the protest, Naira Marley took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share his frustration, posting a message accompanied by angry emojis, urging for the release of the outspoken critic.
