(In Nigeria) Mercy Chinwo Linked to VeryDarkMan's Arrest Amid Defamation Lawsuit

Gospel singer Mercy Chinwo is at the center of a heated public debate in Nigeria following the arrest of activist VeryDarkMan. The activist was arrested after a court issued a warrant for his arrest due to his failure to honor a summons related to a ₦1.1 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Chinwo.

Actor Stanley Ontop has come forward, claiming that Chinwo influenced VeryDarkMan's arrest. Ontop shared a video stating that Chinwo blocked him on Instagram after he called for VeryDarkMan's release. "Mercy Chinwo blocked me on IG last night because I told her and her husband to free VDM," Ontop said.
