VeryDarkMan has explained the reasons behind his arrest and detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The well-known social media commentator was taken into custody on Friday, May 2, following a visit to GTBank in Abuja.
His arrest sparked outrage among Nigerians, who criticized it as unjust and called for the EFCC to set him free.
According to Daily, he was released on Wednesday, as confirmed by Omoyele Sowore and his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
In a viral video after his release, VeryDarkMan stated that he was detained over suspicions of money laundering.
He questioned the anti-corruption agency’s rationale for suspecting him of such a crime, suggesting that he does not have the kind of wealth that would justify such claims.
“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,” VeryDarkMan stated.
