Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has denied any connection to a controversial audio clip circulating online, describing it as doctored and falsely attributed to him.

In a statement issued by his lawyers, Deji Adeyanju & Partners, the activist faulted comments reportedly made by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, over the audio.
The statement said a simple verification of VeryDarkMan’s verified social media platforms would have shown that he neither produced nor shared the audio in question.
“It is surprising that, despite the resources available to the Presidency, adverse comments were made concerning our client without proper verification of the facts,” the statement read.
His legal team argued that the development reinforced VeryDarkMan’s long-standing concerns about alleged attempts by influential persons within government to discredit and silence him because of his outspoken position on issues of public interest.
According to the statement, the circulation of the audio was part of an attempt to damage the activist’s public image.
The lawyers called on relevant security agencies to investigate the origin and circulation of the alleged doctored audio and ensure that those behind it are identified and brought to justice.
“We accordingly call on the relevant security agencies to investigate the source and circulation of the doctored audio and ensure that those responsible are identified and dealt with in accordance with the law,” the statement added.
