Popular Nigerian social critic, VeryDarkMan, has spoken out about the reason behind his recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
VeryDarkMan, who was detained on Friday, May 2nd, after visiting a GTBank branch in Abuja, was accused of being involved in money laundering. His arrest sparked protests across the country, with fans and celebrities condemning what they described as unlawful detention. He was released on Wednesday evening after spending five days in custody.
In a viral video shared on social media following his release, VeryDarkMan expressed disbelief at the allegations, claiming that the authorities suspected him of money laundering despite not having the kind of wealth that would justify such claims. He stated, “They think I am into money laundering, how would they put money laundering for person wey no get money? I have done so many charities, and them they wonder how. They don’t know that I use debt for charity. Anyway, we are outside, with my lawyer, of course.”
The video has since gone viral, with the social critic emphasizing his innocence and expressing his frustration at the situation.
