VeryDarkMan’s brother, known online as Veryblackman, has been arrested by the Rivers State Police Command in Port Harcourt following an alleged death threat he made against Nigerian reality star and comedian DeeOne.
The arrest came on Monday, August 10, with authorities transporting him from Port Harcourt to Lagos shortly after. The development was first flagged by the Ratel Members Movement page on social media, which reported that the reason for the arrest was still unclear at the time of posting.
However, background to the case points squarely at a threat Veryblackman allegedly made in June 2026, when he reportedly said he would kill DeeOne over comments DeeOne had made criticising VeryDarkMan. The threat drew widespread condemnation at the time, with several Nigerian celebrities, including Mario Wazobia and Broda Mike, publicly calling for his arrest.
DeeOne wasted no time responding to the news on Instagram, writing:

His post has since attracted significant attention online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the development. Followers of the Ratel Members Movement page responded to the news with a mix of confusion, concern, and prayer.
