Online critic Verydarkman, also known as Martins Vincent Otse, is facing controversy following his recent visit to China. He previously announced his trip and shared a video from the capital city.
The TikToker stated that his mission is to expose fraudulent activities affecting Nigerian business owners and suppliers in China.
He highlighted that many Nigerians have reported being scammed during business transactions, especially when dealing with Chinese suppliers, prompting his investigative efforts.
He wrote: “Following the frequent complaints I get about a lot of Nigerians being duped by suppliers and middle men in China, I am here on a serious mission to join heads with some well-meaning Nigerians here in China to help combat online fr@ud between suppliers/manufacturers in China and business owners in Nigeria.”
As speculation about his sudden departure from China spread, Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu made new claims about activist Verydarkman.
In an Instagram post, Maduagwu alleged that VDM was in trouble and had been summoned for questioning by Chinese police on March 2, 2025. He also urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to look into the matter, further fueling public interest in the situation.
Uche Maduagwu wrote:
“E Don happen. Information reaching me says VDM was interrogated for 2 good hours by Chinese Police yesterday.
“The question is WHY? This is bad. Why was he questioned for 2 hours by Chinese Police?”
