“Welcome back, my sweet husband. This night don sure for me. Tonight is gonna be a rough night. I love you so much, my baby.”

VDM’s arrest stirred an outpouring of support from celebrities:

Sarah’s declaration of love for VDM sparked criticism on social media, with netizens questioning her motives. In response, Sarah defended her feelings in a heartfelt Instagram post, emphasizing their connection:
“In case you haven’t noticed, I have his last name ‘Martins.’ We are officially married in my heart. If you can’t wish us well, please leave us alone.”
Despite his controversial reputation, Very Dark Man has earned widespread respect for his bravery and dedication to societal issues, cementing his place as a figure of influence in Nigeria.
