Friends and associates ofControversial social media critic and influencer, Martin Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, have expressed serious concern over the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s refusal to allow them to provide him with food.
Recall that VDM’s legal representative, activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju, in a statement, alleged that VDM was arrested by EFCC operatives on Friday.
The arrest has sparked outrage online and raised questions about a certain bank’s alleged complicity in what critics describe as a targeted crackdown.
In a five-minute video released by Koko Pee, one of VDM’s close friends, he revealed that the EFCC denied him the opportunity to bring food to VDM, stating that the Commission would provide food themselves to him.
