Lawyer Deji Adeyanju has provided an update on the arrest of social commentator Martins Otse, popularly known as Very Dark Man (VDM).
In a post on his X handle, Adeyanju revealed that VDM is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He stated that VDM’s legal team has located him, but the activist has refused to meet with anyone.
“VDM DETAINED AT EFCC: Our lawyers, led by the head of our firm, @Marvin_Omorogbe, just spoke with VDM’s friend, who was arrested alongside him and is also in EFCC custody. VDM declined to leave his cell, insisting he wouldn’t see anyone. He was held inside the exit door of GTBank for over five minutes, enabling EFCC operatives to arrest him and his friend. We plan to take legal action against GTBank for the inhumane treatment of our client. A public statement will follow shortly,” he wrote.
