The FCT High Court, presided over by Justice Nwosu Iheme, on Monday 12th August 2024 has issued a fresh status quo injunction in favor of Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin of the Deliverance Mercy Land International Ministry, Warri, Delta State. The order is against Mr. Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as “Very Dark Man,” a prominent YouTuber, blogger, and self-proclaimed freedom fighter who operates on various social media platforms, including Facebook.
This is coming a few days after Prophet Jeremiah announced his decision to withdraw the legal proceedings against VeryDarkMan.
VeryDarkMan had alleged that Prophet Jeremiah's Miracle Water is fake. He claimed to have ordered the Miracle Water Worth N600,000 but failed to cure any of the ailments against which it was applied. Even though, Prophet Jeremiah gave reason his miracle water may never work for anyone like VeryDarkMan.

The court’s decision comes as part of ongoing legal proceedings initiated by Prophet Jeremiah, who filed a lawsuit against Mr. Otse for alleged defamation.
The plaintiff's legal team, led by Joel Karatu Esq., presented evidence of multiple libelous posts and videos made by “Very Dark Man” on social media, which they claim have caused significant damage to the Prophet’s reputation both within his church community and among his global business partners.
During today’s hearing, the court reiterated its earlier injunction, barring Mr. Otse from publishing or disseminating any further defamatory content about Prophet Jeremiah on any social media platform, including Facebook and YouTube.
Justice Iheme expressed concern over the continued publication of defamatory material, despite previous court orders, and issued a stern warning to Mr. Otse’s counsel, Ademola Oyedoku Esq., to properly advise and guide his client. The judge also criticized the inadequacy of a motion filed by Mr. Otse’s legal team in an attempt to regularize a court process, deeming it incompetent.
The court has adjourned the case to Friday, August 16, 2024, at noon, for a definite hearing of all applications.
In documents submitted to the court, Prophet Jeremiah’s legal team highlighted the extensive damage caused by the defamatory posts, stating that the content had been widely circulated among his family, church members, and friends, all of whom are active on social media. The plaintiff intends to present additional evidence of defamation during the trial.
