JUST-IN: Activist VeryDarkMan Released From EFCC Custody

Controversial social activist, Martins Vincent Otse, a.k.a. VeryDarkMan, has been released from the detention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday evening.

Human rights activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, disclosed this via his social media handles.

Recall that VeryDarkMan was arrested last week in controversial circumstances around the premises of a commercial bank in Abuja, a development that has led to condemnation from netizens and protests by his supporters.

LEADERSHIP reports that the EFCC, after initial denial, on Tuesday admitted that VeryDarkMan was in its custody over some petitions against him bordering on ‘grave financial malfeasance’.

The anti-graft agency, in a post on its X handle, also said that VeryDarkMan had been offered administrative bail and would be released whenever he fulfilled the bails condition pending when he will be arraigned in court.
