VeryDarkMan Calls Out Mercy Johnson Over Alleged Illegal Detention Of Lady

Social media activist VeryDarkMan has publicly called out Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson and her husband over the alleged arrest and detention of a lady who made a video accusation involving the couple. In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan said he began receiving several messages about a young woman who was allegedly arrested after posting a video based on claims she saw on an Instagram blog. He explained that the lady clearly stated in her video that her source was QTJuice and that she was not the originator of the story. “Alright, so, Mercy Johnson, a lot of people have been sending me DMs in respect of the girl that you arrested. According to them, they said it’s your husband that arrested the girl over a video that she made,” he said. VeryDarkMan narrated the allegation contained in the video, stressing that the lady repeatedly used the word “allegedly” and cited an online blog as her source. He added that shortly after the issue escalated, the blog reportedly went private and the lady deleted her video. Reacting to the arrest, VeryDarkMan condemned what he described as intimidation and misuse of police power, insisting that the matter should be treated as a civil case. “If you have a problem with the girl, take her to court. Na civil matter. Why are you using police to oppress her? You people should go and release the girl,” he said. He also referenced previous cases involving public figures and defamation, arguing that arrests are not the solution. “She said her source. She never said she was the one that made it up. This is intimidation and oppression. Using police to oppress. That’s what you are doing,” he stated. VeryDarkMan further warned that legal action would be taken if the lady was not released, revealing that her wedding was reportedly scheduled to hold soon. “We go send lawyer. We no dey beg. Let the girl go,” he added. Despite his criticism, VeryDarkMan acknowledged Mercy Johnson’s status in the film industry, saying, “I love you, Mercy Johnson. To me, you are the greatest actress of all time. But we will not allow this.” As of now, Mercy Johnson and her husband have not publicly responded to the allegations.
