Nigerian social media influencer VeryDarkMan (VDM) has been taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This was confirmed by Lawyer Deji Adeyanju, on Facebook.
Initially, it was reported that Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) had ordered VDM’s arrest due to his criticism of the bank over alleged unauthorized transactions from his mother’s account.
Adeyanju’s team later updated that they met with VDM’s friend, who was arrested alongside him. Adeyanju said, “VDM refused to come out of the cell; that he won’t see anyone. VDM was locked inside the GTB exit door for over 5 mins to enable EFCC to arrest him and his friend. We will be taking legal actions against GTB for the inhumane treatment meted out to our client.”
