Social media activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has mocked the controversy surrounding his invitation to the Nigerian Bar Association conference by appearing in a lawyer’s wig and gown in a satirical video.
Otse shared the video on Instagram on Friday, dressed in the traditional black barrister’s gown, white neck tabs and a wig, while wearing dark sunglasses.
The roughly three-and-a-half-minute video appeared to be a parody of legal proceedings, with Otse referring to himself as a lawyer and making sarcastic remarks about his recent appearance at the NBA conference.
The activist had attended the conference, themed “Be Your Limit,” where his participation generated controversy among lawyers and other Nigerians, with some questioning why he was invited to an event organised for legal professionals despite not being a lawyer.
