Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has stated that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is still unable to disclose the reasons behind the arrest of social media critic Martins Otse, commonly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The solicitor announced this in a post on his official Facebook page on Monday evening, following a meeting with VDM while in the custody of the anti-graft agency.
According to him, after repeated requests, the Commission stated there was no petition against the social media influencer, contrary to widespread reports on Monday.
He wrote, “Got into the country this evening and went straight to VDM at EFCC.
“Just left him. We still cannot understand why he was arrested. EFCC said there’s no petition against him after our repeated demand”.
The BBC reported on Monday morning that VDM was arrested following a series of petitions lodged against him by some Nigerians.
