Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju says the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is still unable to reveal reason for the arrest of social media critic, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, VDM.
The lawyer stated this in a post on his official Facebook page on Monday night after meeting VDM in custody of the anti-graft agency.
According to him, after repeated demands, the Commission said there was no petition against the social media influencer as widely reported on Monday.
He wrote, “Got into the country this evening and went straight to VDM at EFCC.
“Just left him. We still cannot understand why he was arrested. EFCC said there’s no petition against him after our repeated demand”;.
The BBC pidgin had on Monday morning reported that VDM was arrested after a series of petitions against him by some Nigerians.
The medium quoted the spokesperson of the commission, Dele Oyewale but the Commission later denied the report, triggering confusion over circumstances surrounding the arrest and detention.
