Nigerian artist Terry Apala has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to activist VeryDarkMan, demanding that he take down a defamatory post made against him.
In the controversial post, VeryDarkMan alleged that Terry Apala, along with DJ Tunez and DJ Osas, were summoned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and accepted money from the agency.
Terry Apala, through a letter from his legal team, firmly denied the allegations, describing them as baseless and damaging to his reputation. The letter also accused VeryDarkMan of attempting to use Terry’s name to chase clout and stated that such claims not only harm Terry but also tarnish the image of the EFCC.
The statement clarified that the bribery accusations were completely false. Terry maintained that he has never offered or received any bribe and supported his claim with an alibi, noting he was out of the country during the time in question and observed the Ramadan fast.
Part of the letter reads:
“I want to state clearly that this bribery allegation is a total lie and has no basis in reality, especially recently. I have never bribed anyone, nor have i been involved in any kind of financial corruption with any organization or individual, whether public or private”
“It troubles me that this unfounded accusation is been spread around without proof. It needs to be publicly refuted quickly to protect the integrity of the EFCC and to clear my name from this unfair connection.”
