A Social Media Storm
Controversial social media critic VeryDarkMan is back in the headlines, and this time, he’s taking on Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). In a fiery video shared on his Instagram page, VeryDarkMan accused the anti-graft agency of plotting to arrest him for speaking out against its chairman, Olanipekun Olukoyede. But that’s not all—he claims the EFCC is colluding with a prominent lawyer and a social media influencer to frame him. Here’s the full story.
The Allegations: A Plot to Silence Critics?
In the video, VeryDarkMan didn’t hold back. He alleged that two individuals—a well-known lawyer and a social media influencer—visited the EFCC office in Abuja to provide evidence against him. According to him, they brought clips and a picture of him spraying money at an event, which they claimed was grounds for the EFCC to go after him.
“I know you would be wondering how I found out, but the truth is that I have informants in your office,” he boldly stated.
The EFCC’s Alleged Motive: Revenge?
VeryDarkMan didn’t stop at accusing the EFCC of plotting his arrest. He claimed that the agency’s interest in him stems from his frequent criticism of its chairman, Olanipekun Olukoyede.
“The officer they spoke to also said, ‘Yes, VeryDarkMan has been coming for us. He speaks about our Oga and has been talking to EFCC rudely.’ So, your interests aligned, and you are teaming up against VeryDarkMan,” he revealed.
He further alleged that the EFCC is trying to frame him, turning what he calls harmless social media behavior into a criminal case.
The Bigger Picture: Freedom of Speech Under Threat?
VeryDarkMan’s allegations raise serious questions about the state of freedom of speech in Nigeria. Is this a case of a government agency targeting a vocal critic, or is VeryDarkMan simply trying to deflect attention from his own actions? Either way, the situation has sparked a heated debate online, with many Nigerians taking sides.
What’s Next for VeryDarkMan?
As of now, the EFCC has not publicly responded to VeryDarkMan’s allegations. However, the social media critic has made it clear that he won’t back down. Known for his fearless commentary, VeryDarkMan has vowed to continue speaking out, regardless of the consequences.
