Protesters Converge On GTBank Abuja Headquarters, Demand VeryDarkMan’s Release
Protesters in Abuja on Monday morning stormed the headquarters of Guaranty Trust Bank GTBank to demand the release of social media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that VeryDarkMan was recently arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over allegations of cyberstalking.
The demonstrators, who gathered in large numbers chanted “#FreeVDM” while holding placards with inscriptions such as “Activism is not a sin”, “VDM is the masses’ liberator”, and “VDM has committed no offence”.
VDM’s arrest has sparked outrage online and raised questions about the bank’s alleged complicity in what critics describe as a targeted crackdown.
His legal representative, activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju, said he was ambushed by EFCC operatives inside the GTBank premises.
However, GTB Denied the claim and released a CCTV footage, stating that the social media influencer was not picked up on its premises, and urged that further investigations be conducted.
