The Vacation Court of the FCT, presided by Justice Nwosu Iheme, in a case filed against popular youtuber, blogger and self proclaimed freedom fighter, Mr. Martins Vincent Otse, known as Very Dark Man, has adjourned the matter indefinitely.
During court proceedings, counsel to prophet Jeremiah Omoto, Fufenyi, who through the Church Representative in certain Mr Christsantus Umealakei, sought for standown of court proceedings till 11.30am.
It was seriously opposed by Very darkman counsel in person of one Mr Ademola Oyedodun Esq., who opposed the stand down application, and then applied for cost of #200,000 against prophet Jeremiah and also requested from the court that further court processes in Counter claim and motion for very dark man injunction against prophet jeremiah should be served on Prophet Jeremiah Church Representative present in court.
The presiding Judge refused the application for cost and the request to serve the court process on The Church Representative present in court and instead returned the case to the CJ of FCT High Court, for reassignment as Vacation has come to an end.
However the status quo order in this case still subsists.
The highlights court proceedings is that in recent court process and documents filed before the court, allegation of forgery has been made and imputed against Very dark man, as prophet Jeremiah OmotoFufenyi counsel in further court process filed chronicles and shows that the purported church receipts Very Darkman alluded used to buy certain church and spiritual items from prophet Jeremiah church is actually forged. The new court documents show a disclaimer letter from Christ Mercy Land Church, which disclaims and further show that the receipts being paraded by very dark man, is not just fake but altered to confer on him, possible defence in this Matter. However a look at the receipts and original invoice in the accounting records of prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufenyi’s church, will reveal that there are sharp discrepancies in the document being paraded by very dark man .
The said receipts of VDM looks altered, figures mutilated and dates altered in this regard. Speaking on this, to the press, Counsel to prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufenyi, Ihensekhien Samuel Junior, notes that steps are being made take to ensure Very Darkman is fully investigated with a possibility to arraign him soon over this allegations in this regard.
