Nigerians Stages Protest In Abuja, Demands VeryDarkMan’s Release By EFCC [Video]

A group of young Nigerians held a peaceful protest in Abuja on Monday, calling for the immediate release of popular activist and social media personality Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).

KanyiDaily recalls that VeryDarkMan was taken into custody by the EFCC on Friday, May 2, just after visiting GTBank in Abuja with his mother to make inquiries about her account.

His arrest, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was connected to several complaints made against him by different people.

The protesters gathered in large numbers near the EFCC headquarters in Jabi, carrying placards and chanting messages in support of VDM.

Some of the slogans included “He’s not a thief! Release VDM!” which caught the attention of passersby and drivers in the area.

Supporters, along with civil society groups, are urging authorities to handle the case transparently and ensure his legal rights are respected.
