VeryDarkMan has finally regained freedom from EFCC custody.
Newsone Nigeria reports that a popular social media activist, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, VDM, has regained his freedom from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigeria’s anti-graft agency.
This online news platform understands that VDM has been in the custody of the anti-graft agency since he was arrested in Abuja on Friday.
There has been uproar across the nation with Nigerian youths demanding his immediate and unconditional release.
EFCC said on Tuesday that the arrest followed a series of petitions against the activist, claiming that several invitations were communicated to him, but he failed to honour them.
An activist cum politician, Omoyele Sowore, in an update on his official Facebook page on Wednesday evening, said “VDM Released”!
