The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed that social media personality Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, was arrested following multiple petitions submitted to the agency.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale told BBC News Pidgin on Monday that the arrest was based on several allegations of cyberstalking filed by different individuals.
“We arrested him to respond to a series of allegations raised against him by some petitioners,” Oyewale said. “He will be released once he meets the bail conditions, and the case will be taken to court as soon as possible—we are law-abiding.”
When asked if the arrest was linked to Guaranty Trust Bank, Oyewale clarified that the petitions came from various individuals and the agency has a duty to act on such complaints.
He added that the commission is making plans to arraign the influencer in court.
