An Abuja Catholic Priest, Rev. Father John Oluoma, has heaped praises of detained Nigerian social media influencer and activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
The clergyman held that God has used the activist to do what many General Overseers and powerful prophets have not done.
Oluoma stated this during his sermon on Sunday.
This is coming under the heels of VeryDarkMan’s Arrest and detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
NPO Reported that the activist was arrested on Friday and allegedly brutalized by armed EFCC operatives at a branch of Guarantee Trust Bank (GTBank) in Garki Area of Abuja.
As captured in a now viral video shared on X, Oluoma, while addressing his congregation, said VDM may not be very religious but has been used by God in serving justice for people.
“VeryDarkMan is not your typical religious person. He does not speak in tongues or kabash. But what God has used him to do in Nigeria, even G.O and powerful prophets have not done it. Now the fear of VeryDarkMan is the beginning of wisdom.
“God has used him to bring justice to people. There were people who took money from others and they refused to give them their money until such victims went to VeryDarkMan and he took up the case.
“But you will never see him as a prophet and he doesn’t care.” He said.
Citing the book of Isaiah, Rev. Father Oluoma held that God derives pleasure in taking care of the needy that fasting and prayer.
He said VeryDarkMan, as against his name, has done very light things through his fight against injustice.
“When you go to Isaiah 58 or 59, it said you fast and prayer, but God said get out, I don’t care about your prayers. You do marathon fasting, He said I don’t care about all those things.
“God said take away all your fasting and religious things. All I want is to take care of the needy and lose the fetals of injustice.
“The Bible says justice shall flourish. That’s one of the spirit and prophecies of our Lord Jesus.
“Meanwhile, he is name is VeryDarkMan, but your name is light of the world. But he is the one dispelling darkness, but you who is the light of the world, Lucy, Luscious, you are the one bringing darkness.
“He doesn’t belong in the
tent of meeting which is the tent of ordination and kabashing. He doesn’t come there. His name is VeryDarkMan but he does very light things.” The clergyman added.
