Martins Vincent Otse’s legal team, otherwise known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has now expressed grave concern for the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Mrs. Blessing Otse, shortly after his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on May 2, 2025. “
A release by Deji Adeyanju & Partners revealed that VDM and colleague Steven Avuara (aka C-Pack) were arrested just after closing the gate of the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), Area 3, Garki, Abuja. The three visited the bank for an inquiry regarding unexplained deductions from the account of Mrs. Otse.
According to Avuara, there was a more than five-minute entrapment at the door of the bank before armed men in black uniforms racially assaulted them, blindfolding and ‘polygamously committing’ them. Even though EFCC did confirm Otse and Avuara’s arrest, Mrs. Otse remains unaccounted for.
The firm’s lawyers who were Marvin Omorogbe and Steven Eze were able to meet Avuara only at the EFCC headquarters. He alleged that they branded themselves as “bandits” and threatened him at gunpoint, leaving VDM traumatized.
The EFCC did present an arrest warrant for Otse on allegations of cyberstalking but refused to state any charges against Avuara. The lawyers have condemned this continued interrogation as unconstitutional and pledged to take legal action against both EFCC and GTBank.
