- Verydarkman, a controversial social commentator, has cautioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against releasing a mugshot taken during his recent arrest.
- The social critic, who was in EFCC custody for nearly five days, emphasized his stance in a video shared after regaining access to his social media accounts.
Controversial Nigerian activist and social commentator, Verydarkman, has issued a stern warning to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), cautioning them against publishing his mugshot with any criminal label.
In a new video shared shortly after his release from detention, the outspoken critic revealed that a photograph was taken during his time in EFCC custody. However, he insisted that attaching the term “money laundering” to the image would spark serious consequences.
“You people took a picture of me, where wahala go dey na if you release that photo of me with money laundering on it. If una release my picture for una page and I con go see money laundering, you people will prove it.
“I’m not a fraudster and if you put money laundering, it only means everyone you once arrested with the same mugshot means it’s a lie,” he said.
Verydarkman, who spent five days in detention, didn’t stop there. He also took aim at GTBank, accusing the financial institution of playing a role in his arrest. He claimed to have video evidence linking the bank to the incident, which he says he’ll release once he recovers his seized mobile phone.
He captioned the video with a message to the EFCC and GTBank:
“Dear EFCC, as we are about to become friends in the quest for a better Nigeria, we have to start with integrity and clean hands. We cannot start with lies… and as for @gtbank, I will be needing some explanations o.”
