Social media activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, on Thursday, insisted that he will not hand over to the Nigeria Police Force the evidence supporting his allegations that some security personnel are aiding kidnappers and bandits. Otse said he was prepared to respond to the police invitation but maintained that he would only disclose his evidence if the matter was taken to court. He spoke in a video posted on his Instagram page on Thursday while reacting to the invitation issued by the police. The police had asked the activist to provide evidence for his allegation that some officers deployed to checkpoints allegedly identify wealthy travellers and relay their information to kidnappers, who subsequently target them for abduction. The Force described the claim as serious and unsubstantiated, warning that such allegations could damage public confidence in the police. The police, however, said it was prepared to examine any evidence Otse presented and investigate the matter accordingly. But the activist rejected the request, questioning why he should give the police evidence that could later form part of a criminal case against him.

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to lift the order freezing the account of the Osun State government. The President, in a statement on Thursday, said he feels personally embarrassed by the action of the EFCC in freezing the Osun State government account. Tinubu argued that the timing of the action by the anti-graft agency raises several questions. “It has come to my notice that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) obtained a court order on August 5, 2026, freezing the accounts of the Osun State Government. I must state that I feel deeply embarrassed not by the EFCC’s exercise of its mandate backed by a court order, but by the timing of the agency’s action. This is so because every action taken by an institution of State, especially at the Federal level, is always credited to me, as the President, even when I may not have had any prior knowledge of the action”, Tinubu said. President Tinubu reiterated that he remains committed to allowing government institutions to function without interference based on their clearly defined powers.
