The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has contradicted media reports stating that the arrest of popular social media activist Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), was due to multiple petitions from various individuals.
In a post on its official Facebook page on Monday, the EFCC labeled the report, which originated from BBC News Pidgin, as false and urged the public to disregard it.

BBC News Pidgin had reported that EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale confirmed VDM’s arrest and allegedly stated, “We will release him if he meets his bail conditions, and we will take the case to court as soon as possible.”
The outlet also claimed Oyewale said VDM was arrested to address several allegations in petitions from individuals.
However, the EFCC has now disowned these statements attributed to its spokesperson, calling the entire report fake news.
