The vacation FCT high court today was presided over by Justice Nwosu Iheme in a case filed against popular Youtuber, blogger, and self proclaimed freedom fighter, Mr. Martins Vincent Otse, known as Verydarkman, operating on different social media platforms and the Facebook meta platform. The FCT vacation high court today, in further court proceedings, has granted an injunctive order of status quo in favor of prophet Jeremiah Omoto Funfenyi.
As the FCT high court’s proceedings today restrained the above named very dark man from further libeling and any further defamation via internet videos and/or publishing by Facebook, YouTube videos or any defamatory works against Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufenyi,
According to the statement of claim filed by prophet Jeremiah’s lead counsel and lawyer, Joel Karatu, esq., in July 2024, the claimant chronicled the various alleged libelous Facebook and social media publications made against him by Verydarkman.
The plaintiff lamented that the defamatory contents caused him incalculable damage and brought him ridicule among members of his church and business partners who are spread across the globe. In a case of alleged libel and defamation, prophet Jeremiah Fufenyi accused Verydarkman of operating on different social media platforms and portraying him in bad light.
In court processes dated July 2014, the plaintiff said, “The defendant has posted several cyberbullying and libel videos, of which a significant number are defamatory to the personality of the plaintiff.”
To underscore the amount of pain the alleged libelous posts had caused him, the plaintiff lawyer said his client has “family members, church members, and friends who are active on social media and brought his attention to the several defamatory posts against him by the defendant through VDM Facebook and other social media platforms.”
He noted that although some of the allegation posts are on VDM Facebook and social media , there are others that he intends to submit before the court at trial.
The FCT high court heard the matter today, even after Oyedoku, Esq., who appeared as legal counsel for Verydarkman, made a solemn promise to the FCT high court that Verydarkman, known as VVDM, would cease any further defamation of the plaintiff or undermining the suit and proceedings before court. The court, after hearing all parties, granted an injunctive status quo order today and then adjourned to August 12, 2024, for a definite hearing of all applications.
