Deji Adeyanju, the legal representative to social media critic Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman, recently spoke on the new court order against his client as his drama with gospel Mercy Chinwo continues.

Recall that a magistrate court ordered VDM's arrest over his alleged defamation of Chinwo, which sparked reaction from the critic, who stated that the judiciary couldn't shut him down.

He also maintained that he would expose people paying money to bring him down.

Deji Adeyanju, while speaking on a TV programme, again laughed over the court action against VDM.

The lawyer, who had previously stated that his client had no money to pay to anyone, described the recent action against VDM as a joke.

Adeyanju, who said he would be defending VDM in court, refrained from sharing the strategy they would use for the case.

"I dont want to discuss this issue because this is not the court of law, I don't want to reveal our strategy to the other side, we have no comment, it is a joke, it is a complete joke," he said.
