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.
Controversial activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has finally spoken out about his recent arrest and detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
VeryDarkMan was taken into custody on May 2 after visiting a bank branch in Abuja and was released five days later on May 7.
In a video shared with his lawyer, VDM vehemently denied the EFCC’s allegations of suspected money laundering, describing them as baseless and unfounded.
He emphasized that he doesn’t possess the kind of wealth that would warrant such claims, attributing his charitable activities to debt rather than wealth.
Expressing relief at being released, VDM stated, “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.”
The arrest sparked widespread outrage, with fans and celebrities staging protests at EFCC offices across the country to demand VDM’s release. Many denounced the EFCC’s action, questioning the agency’s motives and expressing support for the embattled activist.
VeryDarkMan release has brought an end to the speculation surrounding his detention, but the incident has raised important questions about the EFCC’s methods and the need for transparency in their operations.
