The High Court of Federal Capital Territory has reaffirmed the maintenance of the status quo in the ongoing lawsuit between YouTuber and blogger Martins Vincent Otse, known as “VeryDarkMan,” and Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin. 

While the prophet had sued VeryDarkMan over claims regarding miracle water in the church, the court injunction mandates that neither party should take any actions that could alter the existing situation.

Fufeyin accused VeryDarkMan of spreading defamatory content across social media. 

After the court session, the lead counsels shared their perspectives on this critical legal decision.

In this high-stakes legal battle, which balances the right to free speech against claims of defamation, the Vacation FCT High Court has ordered the continuation of the status quo injunction. 

This ruling aims to ensure that the current conditions remain unchanged as the case proceeds through the legal system.
