Popular human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has expressed disdain over the detainment of his client and self-acclaimed activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

‎
‎Taking to his X handle, Deji noted that his biggest pain about the issue between VDM and the EFCC is because of his respect and reverence for the current chairman of the anti-graft agency.

‎
‎He further questioned why the 'ratel' boss is still detained for 6 days now. He also wondered how VDM is the issue of Nigeria or the anti-corruption agency.

‎
‎He wrote on X:
‎"The most painful thing to me personally about the issue of my client and EFCC is that the current chairman of the commission is someone I have a lot of regard for. I do not understand why VDM is still detained 6 days later. I do not understand how VDM who only uses his voice against societal issues the problem of Nigeria or anti corruption?"

‎
‎The Nigerian Voice reported on Friday, that popular human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, via his X handle, announced the arrest of VeryDarkMan by the police at GTB.

‎Deji Adeyanju further released a preliminary statement on Friday evening, which clarified that VeryDarkMan was in the custody of the EFCC in Abuja.

‎
‎Following continuous clamour from Nigerians on the reason for VeryDarkMan's detainment, the EFCC on Tuesday, released a press release revealing that the petitions against VDM "pertains to grave allegations of financial malfeasance which cannot be ignored by the Commission."
