“He was messed up badly” – VDM’s brother shares update on activist’s arrest

The brother of detained activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has spoken out following the controversial arrest of the social commentator by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

It should be recalled that VDM was arrested yesterday after accompanying his mother to the bank to file a complaint about repeated and unexplained debits from her account. His arrest, reportedly at a GTBank branch, has sparked reactions online.

Giving an update via Instagram, VDM’s brother alleged that the activist and an associate were denied medical attention despite sustaining serious injuries during the arrest. He also claimed that all efforts to secure their release had so far been futile.

“We’ve gone through the necessary channels. They have refused to let VDM and the other go or get treated because information reaching us was that they were badly injured,” he said in the video.

He further questioned the motive behind the EFCC’s actions, saying, “I don’t know the agenda EFCC has against VDM. But whatever this is, GTBank and the EFCC know how this will end.”

As of the time of filing this report, neither GTBank nor the EFCC has issued an official statement in response to the allegations.
