Rivers Lawyers Association Accuses VeryDarkMan of Defamation
The Abuja Based Rivers Lawyers Association (ABRLA) has accused social media personality Martin Vincent Etse, also known as VeryDarkMan, of defaming its member, lawyer Jordan Wike, Esq. The allegations stem from a video published by VeryDarkMan on October 21, 2026, in which he accused Wike of being involved in a $2.1 million fraud related to land acquisition and lobbying in the United Kingdom.
The association demanded the immediate withdrawal of these statements and a public apology within seven days. ABRLA refuted claims that Wike is the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency in Rivers State for the 2027 elections, clarifying that the party's candidate is Hon. Martins Amaewhule.
They also rejected claims that Wike admitted to receiving the alleged sum or referred to him as "Jordan Wicked." The association emphasized that Wike has not been convicted of any crimes and warned against public trials of individuals involved in ongoing litigation.
