A Nigerian United States citizen and health specialist, Kelvin Onyiaeze,has announced plans to file a N1 billion defamation suit against social commentator Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan.
Onyiaeze disclosed this in a briefing in Abuja on Friday.
Recall that in a viral video, VeryDarkMan alleged that Onyiaeze is a land grabber.
However, reacting, Onyiaeze described VeryDarkMan’s claims as malicious and an attempt to tarnish his image.
He said VeryDarkMan’s claim is a ‘total falsehood.’
“The allegations contained in the viral video are a total falsehood and a coordinated attempt at character assassination. Mr. Kelvin Onyiaeze is a law-abiding United States citizen and a distinguished healthcare specialist.
“The attempt to weaponize social media to destroy the livelihood of an international healthcare professional is not only wicked but a threat to the safety of the diaspora community,” Onyiaeze said.
He noted that VeryDarkMan’s action is a breach of Nigeria’s cybersecurity acts and his data privacy.
“We wish to remind the public and the authorities that the digital space is not a lawless vacuum. The actions of “VeryDarkMan” constitute a direct violation specifically regarding cyberstalking, bullying, and the distribution of racist contravention of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015 and xenophobic material aimed at causing fear and reputational harm,” he said.
He urged the Nigerian Police and Department of State Security Services to take action against VeryDarkMan.
“We hereby urge the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Office of the Attorney General to take immediate punitive measures against Martins Otse (VeryDarkMan). The law must take its course to serve as a deterrent to digital terrorists who use their platforms to blackmail and de-market hardworking citizens for “clout” or financial gain.
“Our legal team, led by Barrister Abubarka Orumah, has been instructed to proceed with a $1 billion libel and defamation suit,” he said.
