Social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, VDM, has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju confirmed the development in a post on his official Facebook page.
It was gathered that Guaranty Trust Bank, GTB, ordered VDM’s arrest following his criticism of the bank after alleged unauthorized transactions were made from his mother’s account.
In an update, Adeyanju disclosed that a team of lawyers led by the head at Marvin Omorogbe met VDM’s friend, who was arrested together with him in EFCC custody.
“VDM refused to come out of the cell; he said he won’t see anyone. VDM was locked inside the GTB exit door for over 5 mins to enable EFCC to arrest him and his friend,” he stated.
Adeyanju added that legal actions would be taken against GTB for the inhumane treatment meted out on VeryDarkMan and his friend.
