Nigerian music producer Samklef has claimed responsibility for the arrest of controversial critic Verydarkman, otherwise known as VDM.

Reports were rife on Sunday that VDM was arrested, weeks after he was released.

He had been in and out of police custody since the beginning of this year, following his collisions with different Nigerian celebrities.
