The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, has arrested Martins Vincent Otse, a well-known Nigerian social media influencer who goes by the handle VeryDarkMan, or VDM.
On Friday night, activist attorney Deji Adeyanju verified this in a post on his official Facebook page.
A group of attorneys headed by the “Head of our firm @Marvin_Omorogbe just met VDM’s friend, who was arrested together with him in EFCC custody,” according to an update from Adeyanju.

VDM said he wouldn’t see anyone and wouldn’t leave the cell. To allow the EFCC to arrest VDM and his companion, he was detained behind the GTB exit door for more than five minutes.
He wrote, “We will be pursuing legal action against GTB for the cruel treatment of our client.”
According to earlier reports, VDM was arrested by Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) after he criticized the bank for allegedly allowing unauthorized transactions from his mother’s account.
