A new update has surfaced regarding the arrest of controversial social media commentator, VeryDarkMan, adding fuel to the already heated public discourse.
The news of his detention has triggered widespread outrage on social media, with many demanding his immediate release, while security agencies have yet to provide any official statement.
VeryDarkMan was reportedly taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja under unclear circumstances. Additionally, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) has been accused of playing a role in the arrest, drawing criticism from supporters.
In a recent update, popular Nigerian musician and saxophonist Seun Kuti alleged that the arrest was linked to VeryDarkMan’s comments on a controversy involving an unnamed Gospel singer. He shared this information based on what he learned from Deji Adeyanju, who serves as legal counsel for both him and VeryDarkMan.
“VDM’s lawyer is my lawyer, and we’re currently entangled in a case with GTB and other banks. There’s no bank in Nigeria that’s a good bank,” Seun remarked.
He also suggested that powerful religious figures are behind the arrest, targeting VeryDarkMan for his outspoken opinions.
“As Federal government is running our country, all these big pastors dey run Nigeria. The people of God are the ones fighting VDM for speaking the truth,” he added.
Meanwhile, speculation continues to swirl about Gospel artist Mercy Chinwo potentially being involved in the matter, especially as she remains in a legal dispute with her former record label boss, Eezee Tee.
