[b][/b]This Ongoing Issue Between VDM, GTBank, and EFCC — A Call for Caution and Clarity.

The controversy involving VDM, GTBank, and the EFCC is one that requires deep reflection. Everyone needs to think critically before forming a one-sided judgment.

Initially, reports claimed that VDM was arrested inside the bank, and that GTBank had called the EFCC following his complaint about deductions from his mother’s account for a loan she never took. In reaction, a social media campaign began, encouraging customers to close their GTBank accounts. Many of VDM’s followers even posted proof of account closures.

However, a recent twist came when VDM’s brother and another individual who was with him at the time claimed that he was arrested outside the bank, right after leaving the premises. They alleged that VDM had already posted his location before EFCC operatives picked him up on allegedly cyberstalking charges.

Sahara Reporters also shared a statement from Deji Adeyanju, alleging that GTBank locked VDM inside the bank’s exit door for over five minutes to delay him and allow the EFCC to arrive and arrest him and his friend. In response, GTBank released CCTV footage to clarify their side of the story.

Now the question is: who is telling the truth? Is this issue truly about GTBank or the EFCC? The EFCC needs to come forward with a clear statement so the public can understand what really happened, before this damages GTBank’s reputation further.

At the same time, Nigerians must learn to pause, investigate, and seek solid evidence before taking actions that can harm a business or tarnish reputations. What if GTBank is eventually vindicated by VDM himself? Will those who rushed to close their accounts go back and reopen them?

Don’t let anyone play on your intelligence. Let’s not forget how VDM previously pulled a similar stunt. Back in First week of January 2025, he sparked national outrage when he claimed that N180 million was missing from his NGO’s account, only to later admit it was a prank. In his own words:

“80% of people on social media are dumb. I did it deliberately to show you people how stupid you are. No money is missing; my money is secure. I told my website guy to shut down the site so we could use people to catch cruise. Nobody asked for evidence. They just went with what was being said.”
That issue involved an account and a bank, and now, once again, it’s about a bank, GTBank, and the EFCC.

Guaranty Trust Bank [b][/b]& Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Is there any latest, verified update on this matter? Nigerians deserve clarity so we can all move on. For now, let’s wait, watch, and think critically.

This is one of the people who can not think for themselves and follows social media noise.
