Lagos, Nigeria – May 5, 2025 – Just when you thought the VeryDarkMan (VDM) saga couldn’t get any wilder, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has spilled piping-hot tea that’s got Nigeria’s gossip scene on fire! Martins Vincent Otse, the social media tornado known as VDM, was nabbed on May 2, 2025, and the EFCC’s latest statement is serving fresh drama. Forget the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) rumors, this arrest is all about cyberstalking, and the petitioners are coming out of the woodwork!
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale dropped a bombshell on Monday, confirming to BBC News Pidgin that VDM’s detention stems from “multiple petitions” accusing him of using his platforms to harass, insult, and intimidate folks online, potentially violating Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act. “We arrested him to answer for allegations raised by petitioners,” Oyewale said, adding that VDM’s court date is looming as soon as bail conditions are met or investigations wrap up. Who’s behind these petitions? The EFCC’s keeping names under wraps, but whispers of gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and other heavyweights are swirling, especially after her April 2025 defamation lawsuit against VDM.
The plot thickens with VDM’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, claiming the EFCC hasn’t spilled the full tea on the charges, leaving fans and foes speculating. Social media is a circus, with #FreeVDM trending as supporters like Davido and Portable rally, while others wonder if VDM’s relentless exposés finally crossed the wrong power players. “This is bigger than GTBank,” one X post teased, hinting at a high-stakes vendetta.
Will VDM beat the charges or face a courtroom reckoning? With the EFCC doubling down and Nigeria watching, this scandal’s far from over. Stay glued for the next twist!
