Falana Intervenes In VDM’s Arrest, Contacts EFCC

Prominent human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has reached out to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding the arrest and prolonged detention of well-known social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).

This was verified by Deji Adeyanju, VDM’s attorney, who revealed the information on social media on Wednesday morning.

“I have now confirmed, contrary to my previous post the other day, that our revered leader and mentor, Femi Falana SAN, has made several calls to EFCC challenging VDM’s unlawful arrest and detention,” Adeyanju stated.

The revelation marks a significant turn in the high-profile case, which has drawn public attention and criticism since VDM was taken into custody last Friday in Abuja.

Details surrounding the reason for his arrest remain unclear, sparking concerns about due process and freedom of expression.

Adeyanju’s perceived Falana silence
Adeyanju had earlier voiced disappointment over what he perceived as Falana’s silence on the matter.

“Our revered leader and mentor, Femi Falana SAN yet to condemn the arrest of VDM. Interesting times indeed!” he wrote in a previous post.

The confirmation of Falana’s involvement is likely to increase pressure on the EFCC to clarify its stance and procedures in VDM’s detention.

VDM, known for his outspoken commentary on social and political issues, has built a large following online.

VDM’s arrest sparks controversy
His detention has sparked widespread debate, with many calling for transparency and respect for civil liberties.

Neither the EFCC nor the prominent lawyer has released an official statement beyond the confirmation by Adeyanju.

Falana’s involvement may be crucial in settling the case’s legal and public dispute as demands for VDM’s release intensify.
