Popular critic and social media personality Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has announced the recovery of a newborn allegedly sold from a suspected b@by factory in Karshi, Abuja, following a joint operation with operatives of the Nigeria Police Force’s Special Tactical Squad (STS).

VDM disclosed that he accompanied police during the raid on the facility, which was prompted by allegations that a seven-day-old infant had been sold from the premises, and documented the operation through videos shared across his social media pages.

In an update on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, he confirmed that the baby had been recovered, sharing a video showing him carrying the newborn out of the building to a woman believed to be the child’s mother, in order to confirm whether the infant belonged to her.

What followed appeared to frustrate him considerably, as the woman reportedly said she needed to check her phone before confirming, a response that visibly upset him.

When she had difficulty viewing her phone screen properly, he moved to a better-lit area while still carrying the baby, allowing her to compare the infant with photographs stored on her device.

Despite expressing satisfaction with how police handled the operation, he made clear that he had reservations about immediately returning the child to the mother’s care.

In related news, an online news platform reported that actress Funke Akindele had offered support to a young mother who lost her sight after childbirth.

Oh! This is wonderful !! This is good news!! The baby has finally been reunited with his mother🥹❤️✨…. Thanks to VeryDarkMan and all the security operatives pic.twitter.com/o7HbOw1tCe
