EFCC arrests VDM after the popular social media activist reportedly turned down multiple invitations sent by the commission. According to an official statement, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission clarified that VeryDarkMan (VDM) was not unjustly detained, but was invited numerous times for questioning related to petitions filed against him.
EFCC said it resorted to forcefully picking him up only after VDM failed to respond to their formal summons. The case has sparked national outrage and triggered widespread protests across cities like Abuja and Port Harcourt, with many Nigerians demanding his immediate release using the hashtag #FreeVDM.
Despite the uproar, the EFCC arrests VDM story has raised important questions about civic responsibility, due process, and freedom of speech. Meanwhile, the commission assures the public that VDM will be charged in accordance with the law. As investigations continue, Nigerians await further developments in this high-profile case.
