Social media activist Vincent Otse Martins, popularly known as Verydarkman has called out the Nigerian police PRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi over the devastating news of a young man who died in police custody after his female neighbour ordered his arrest and allegedly paid officers to discipline him.
The reports was shared on the X page by the deceased brother where he revealed that the young man identified as Abdulmujib was arrested his residence in Chevron by officers from the Ikota Police Post in Lagos after having a misunderstanding with the female neighbour, Stasia Nora.
It was gathered that Abdulmujib was tortured in the custody, leading to his untimely death. Rather than informing his family, the police allegedly dumped his body in a mortuary on Tuesday, February 11th.
Reacting to the tragic news, Verydarkman, known for his outspoken nature on social justice issues, took to his platform to express his anger and frustration. He criticized Olumuyiwa for turning deaf ears to the shocking reports.

In his words, “Dear police PRO Olumuyiwa Adejobi, there is no way you can tell me you didn’t see this news how a boy that daid inside the police station but you can go around arresting people for making comments on twitter. What happened to the boy?”
