The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday confirmed that popular social media activist Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), will be released once he meets his bail conditions.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale while speaking to BBC News Pidgin on Monday, stated, “We will release him if he meets his bail conditions, and we will take the case to court as soon as possible.”
Oyewale explained that VDM’s arrest followed multiple petitions submitted by various individuals, alleging misconduct.
“We arrested him to respond to a series of allegations raised against him by some petitioners,” he said.
When asked if Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) was among the petitioners, Oyewale declined to give specific names, saying the commission has a responsibility to protect the identity of petitioners.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that in a show of public solidarity, protesters gathered on Monday at GTBank’s headquarters in Abuja, chanting and holding placards demanding VDM’s unconditional release.
