Martins Otse, known on social media as VeryDarkMan, claims Tonto Dikeh, the actress, is threatening to take his life.
Dikeh and VeryDarkMan’s drama began on Tuesday, when the actress secured the arrest of the social media influencer for alleged cyberbullying and cyberstalking.
Dikeh stated that she wanted to “put an end to all his shenanigans” while sharing a photo of VeryDarkMan in police custody.
On Wednesday evening, VeryDarkMan announced his release from police custody.
VeryDarkMan claimed in another post on Thursday that the actor is “threatening to take my life.”
He claimed that one of his aunties called him and told him to come to her house to hide because the actress was going to kill him.
The social media critic also claimed that he feels unsafe because “Dikeh knows where I work out and my routine”.
“As you all know I am somebody that stands for what is true. And as a result of my activism online against skin care vendors and everything, I have been able to gain popularity on social media. And also commenting on some social issues. But because of one social issue recently that took me to the police station for questioning. Apparently, Tonto Dikeh reported me to the police,” he said.
“On reaching the police station by the grace of God I really appreciate the Nigeria police for how fair and transparent they were in the process. After that, I go home. I am not going into the details of what happened at the police station. I will give the details later. When I came back home, I made a video, and I slept. Waking up this morning, I woke up to over 30 missed calls from my family members and relatives. I was wondering what happened. When I called my aunty, she said I should run away. I asked her why I should run away, she said I should come to Benin. That I should come and hide in Benin. That Tonto Dikeh said she was going to take my life.
“I was wondering where they saw that until I saw a lot of messages of people sending me screenshots of what Tonto Dikeh posted on her Instagram. Then I went there to check it for myself.
“And I am talking to the APC. You people have a politician that is threatening to take my life in the open. And mind you Tonto Dikeh knows where I work out because we use the same gym. She knows my routine.
“She has thrown out the threat and I have reported to the police. I am pleading.”
