Popular Nigerian social critic VeryDarkMan has revealed the reason for his recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Media Talk Africa recalls that VeryDarkMan was arrested on Friday, 2nd May, following a visit to a GTBank branch in Abuja.
His detention sparked widespread reactions across the country, as fans and celebrities staged protests at EFCC offices, condemning what they described as an unlawful detention.
He was eventually released on Wednesday evening, after spending five days in custody.
Speaking after his release, VeryDarkMan disclosed that the authorities suspected him of involvement in money laundering.
Expressing disbelief at the allegations, he stated in a viral video circulating on social media that he does not possess the kind of wealth that would justify such suspicions.
He said, “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.”
