EFCC Has Refused to Release VDM”: Dkokopee Shares Where Critic Will Spend His Weekend
The ongoing detention of Nigerian social media critic, VeryDarkMan (VDM), continues to stir public attention as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly declined to grant his release. According to a statement made on Friday by popular online personality Dkokopee, VDM will be spending the weekend in EFCC custody.
The outspoken critic, known for his controversial takes and bold commentaries on societal issues, was reportedly detained earlier in the week over unspecified allegations. Dkokopee, who has been vocal about the situation, took to social media to confirm that all efforts to secure VDM’s release have been unsuccessful so far.
“EFCC has refused to release VDM. He will be spending the weekend in detention,” Dkokopee posted, expressing frustration over the commission’s stance.
VDM’s arrest has sparked mixed reactions across social media platforms. Supporters have called for transparency and due process, insisting that his rights must be respected regardless of the accusations. Others argue that VDM often crosses the line in his commentaries, suggesting that legal consequences may be warranted.
As of now, the EFCC has not issued an official statement regarding the reasons for his continued detention. The lack of details surrounding the case has fueled speculation and concern among the public, with many calling on human rights organizations to intervene.
It remains unclear when VDM will be released or formally charged. Supporters continue to rally for his freedom, urging authorities to uphold justice and fair treatment.
