Deji Adeyanju, lawyer to popular Nigerian social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM) said he is currently in the custody of The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Adeyanju, an activist lawyer, verified this in a post on his official Facebook page Friday evening.
Earlier reports stated that Guaranty Trust Bank, GTB, ordered VDM’s arrest in response to his criticism of the bank following suspected illegal transactions from his mother’s account.
In an update, Adeyanju stated that a team of lawyers led by the “Head of our firm @Marvin_Omorogbe just met VDM’s friend, who was arrested together with him in EFCC custody.
“VDM refused to come out of the cell; that he won’t see anyone. VDM was locked inside the GTB exit door for over 5 mins to enable EFCC to arrest him and his friend.
“We will be taking legal actions against GTB for the inhumane treatment meted out to our client,” he posted.
