However, our colleagues were able to see Mr. Avuara, who narrated the circumstances leading to their arrest.<\/p>\n<p>From our interactive session with Mr. Avara, we were able to gather that Mr. Martins Otse, his mother, Mrs. Blessing Otse, and Mr. Avuara visited GTB Garki, Area 3, Abuja, to make inquiries about the incessant deductions from Mrs. Otse&#8217;s bank account. Following the conclusion of the inquiries, they attempted to exit the building, but were locked in the bank&#8217;s security door for over five minutes. Shortly thereafter, they were accosted at gun point a few metres outside the bank&#8217;s premises, beaten and blindfolded by some armed men wearing black uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr. Avuara, Mr. Martins Otse refused to speak with anybody presumably because of the psychological and physical trauma he experienced in the hands of the arresting officers, who labelled them as &#8220;bandits&#8221; and threatened to shoot them in the presence of Mrs. Otse.<\/p>\n<p>We were further informed by Mr. Avuara that they were transported to the EFCC&#8217;s headquarters at Jabi, Abuja. At the time of this statement, we are unable to confirm the whereabouts of Mrs. Otse.<\/p>\n<p>Adeyanju further disclosed why VDM\u2019s arrest warrant was issued. He stated that while the allegations against Avuara wasn\u2019t revealed, the EFCC officers \u201conly showed our colleagues an arrest warrant allegedly issued against Mr. Martins Otse by His Worship, Njideka lloanya-Duru (Mrs), Chief.<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate II, Wuse Zone 2, on the allegation of cyber stalking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"2133\" class=\"wp-image-358583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/word-image-358582-1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/word-image-358582-1.png 1067w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/word-image-358582-1-150x300.png 150w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/word-image-358582-1-512x1024.png 512w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/word-image-358582-1-768x1536.png 768w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/word-image-358582-1-1024x2048.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VeryDarkMan\u2019s lawyer Deji Adeyanju has confirmed the former\u2019s arrest by the EFCC.
