VeryDarkMan arrested over multiple petitions, EFCC reportedly says
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that the arrest of social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, was carried out over multiple petitions submitted to its agency.
The anti-graft agency confirmed to BBC News Pidgin through its spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Monday.
According to him, VeryDarkMan was taken into custody following complaints from several petitioners on the allegation of cyberstalking.
He said, “We arrested him to respond to a series of allegations raised against him by some petitioners.
“We will release him when he meets the bail conditions and we will take the case to court as soon as possible; we are law-abiding.”
When asked if the case was connected to Guaranty Trust Bank, Oyewale noted that the petitions were from different individuals and the agency owed them a duty of protection.
Oyewole added that the commission was planning to arraign the social media activist.
