EFCC EXPLAINS ARREST AND DETENTION OF VDM.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has clarified the arrest and detention of social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), over allegations of financial malfeasance. 

The EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, explained that VDM repeatedly refused to honor several invitations despite being sent through his known addresses and communication channels.

Noting that the EFCC received petitions against VDM, prompting the investigation, Oyewale urged the public to allow the commission to carry out its duties without speculation. 

The EFCC spokesman maintained that VDM’s detention was lawful, with a valid remand order obtained, adding that an administrative bail has been offered.

He further said that the commission’s actions were not motivated by VDM’s criticisms of the agency, but rather by the allegations of financial crimes.
