EFCC Arrests VeryDarkMan at GTBank: Shocking Details Revealed by Legal Counsel
The Nigerian social media space was thrown into a frenzy following the arrest of popular activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan (VDM), at a GTBank branch. According to reports from his legal representative, activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju, VDM was arrested during a routine visit to the bank alongside his mother.
Ambush at GTBank
In a statement posted online, Adeyanju disclosed that the arrest was nothing short of an ambush by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He claimed that VDM was deliberately trapped inside the bank's exit door for over five minutes, giving EFCC officers the window to execute the arrest.
“VDM was locked inside the GTB exit door for over 5 mins to enable EFCC arrest him and his friend,” Adeyanju said.
Witnesses at the scene reportedly observed the controversial content creator being apprehended right in front of his mother, intensifying public outrage.
What Happened?
VeryDarkMan, known for his bold takes on societal issues, reportedly accompanied his mother to the bank to resolve a banking issue. The arrest, however, was unanticipated and sudden, raising questions about the manner and legality of the operation.
Public Reaction
The incident has sparked several reactions online, with many questioning the involvement of a commercial bank in facilitating the arrest of a private citizen. Activists and social commentators are already calling for accountability from both GTBank and the EFCC over the alleged method employed.
Legal Battle Looms
Adeyanju has promised to take legal action against both the EFCC and GTBank for what he describes as an unlawful ambush and violation of VDM's rights. He further asserted that arbitrary arrests and intimidation are becoming rampant, emphasising the need for a strong stand against such actions.
As the story unfolds, many Nigerians eagerly watch how the legal battle will progress and what explanation the EFCC and GTBank will provide regarding the arrest.
