Nigerian social critic VeryDarkMan has revealed the reason behind his recent arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to reports, he was taken into custody on Friday, May 2, after visiting a GTBank branch in Abuja.
His detention sparked nationwide backlash, with fans and celebrities staging protests and condemning what they called an unlawful arrest.
He regained his freedom on Wednesday evening, after spending five days in EFCC custody. In a viral video shared online after his release, VeryDarkMan disclosed that he was accused of money laundering.
He expressed disbelief over the allegation, insisting that his financial status does not align with such a charge.
“They’re accusing me of money laundering — how can someone without money be laundering it? I do a lot of charity work, often funded through debt. That’s what puzzles them,” he stated in the video, joined by his lawyer.
