The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of popular social commentator, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), citing multiple petitions against him, primarily related to allegations of cyberstalking.

EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale disclosed to the BBC News Pidgin yesterday that VeryDarkMan was taken into custody after several individuals submitted petitions accusing him of online harassment.

He further stated that the commission plans to arraign the activist in court soon, but he will be released when he meets the bail conditions.

Although some online speculations linked the arrest to Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), Oyewale clarified that the complaints were unrelated to the bank.
