Popular activist Martin ‘VeryDarkMan (VDM)’ Otse has broken his silence two days after his release from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) custody.

It was reported that the anti-graft agency arrested and detained VDM for six days over alleged financial crimes.

Since his release, the activist has remained silent until Friday, when he posted a video on his Instagram page revealing that his mobile phone is still with the EFCC.

He further alleged that the EFCC logged him out of his iCloud account and threatened legal action against the Commission if it published his mugshot alongside an alleged ‘money laundering’ charge.

This newspaper also gathered that on the day of his release, VDM claimed he was arrested and detained on allegations of money laundering.

He questioned how someone as poor as himself could be involved in such an offence.

He said: “EFCC, now that we’re trying to become friends, let me be honest: what could ruin this new friendship is what I’m about to say. If you (EFCC) release the picture you took of me (the mugshot), and I see ‘money laundering’ written on it, that’s where the problem will start. If we’re going to be friends, where I can help report scammers and other issues, and you arrest and prosecute them, then let’s keep it that way. But if you (EFCC) release my mugshot with ‘money laundering’ on it, you’ll have to prove that charge to Nigerians.

“That might be the first open case we’ll do with every detail posted online. We’ll go to court repeatedly. The EFCC is powerful because it’s the government, but I’ll stress that it damages its reputation and integrity. It will show that many things they post online about people are untrue. They will prove the money laundering; otherwise, it will cast doubt on all the people they’ve arrested and prosecuted for similar charges. If this friendship is genuine, that label, money laundering, has to go. I saw it in detention and told you I would discuss it.”

Money laundering
Meanwhile, the activist said the anti-graft agency can release his mugshot alongside any charges, but gave conditions.

“If the charge is tax evasion, I won’t argue. But if it’s money laundering, if they don’t prove it, then as far as I’m concerned, every charge they post against anyone is questionable. I’ll consider it false, just like what they’ve done to me.

“Now that the EFCC has logged me out of my iCloud, they control everything on that phone, which contains a lot of evidence. That phone is gone, and I suspect they don’t want me to publish anything from it”, said VDM.

Enter GTBank
Additionally, VDM vowed to reveal what transpired at Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank).

His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, and some of his supporters alleged he was arrested at GTBank, an allegation the bank debunked in a video that showed when VDM left the premises.

This newspaper learnt that before his arrest last Friday, VDM posted on his Instagram page that he was at GTBank with his mother to complain about continuous deductions from her account.

Speaking about his intention to expose what happened at the bank, he said: “As for GTBank, I’m coming for you too. I will expose to the world what you people did. It’s wild. I saw the videos you posted online and thought, ‘What the hell are they doing? Did they think I would die in EFCC custody?’

“The only thing that can save GTBank now is if the EFCC deleted the video. If the videos are still on my phone, GTBank is in trouble. And if the EFCC deleted the video, that’s another problem for the EFCC. “

It's very obvious they've been sold to the highest bidder, when a drug dealer transported bullion van filled with huge sums of money into his residence on the eve of an election they were no where to be found, spits.

Once upon a time puff daddy thought he was invincible uncle he messed around with Diageo, this kid is threatening the EFCC & GT Bank?

He is threatening an agency of The Federal Government & one of the biggest banks in The Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Pride always comes b4 a fall.

VDM, you should be calming down. Why say your mind ahead of time ? If you don't have any incriminating issue, let them continue whatever they want to do and then Deji acts on it. Activism didn't start with you and will never end with you. May the souls of the Ransome Kutis and Fawehinmi continue to rest in peace.

Let EFCC release deatail list of the charges

Nigeria is truly finished.

The fact that someone like VDM can reportedly give conditions to the EFCC is both shocking and embarrassing. It speaks volumes about the current state of our institutions.

I blame his so-called “headless mobs” for enabling this level of arrogance. They’ve made him feel untouchable and above the law. But mark my words, this is more than just social media drama. VDM has likely cut a deal with the EFCC and will start naming names soon.

He’s already said that all the evidence in his possession is now with the EFCC. That means everyone who fed him information thinking he was fighting for justice might now be exposed. If you ever shared sensitive info with him, this should worry you.

This guy needs to learn to keep his next move hidden. I understand you need to make contents and have the urge to engage your followers, but always leave out some key details concerning your next moves.

What has puff daddy case got to do with this? Did you even watched the video? What the man is saying is, if EFCC should add money laundering to his mugshot he will sue them, so that they can provide evidence. How is this a threat? If somebody accuse you of a crime you know nothing about without providing proofs how will you feel? If GTbank feel threatened by his video, what stops them from taking him to court? So because EFCC is a government agency, they can arrest, detain, and rope you with crimes you know nothing about and you I turn will thank them for it? I'm surprised with the way some of you think.

If they took mugshot of you, don't worry you will be published in the hall of fame.

Lol

He will sue the EFCC, u also must be clueless like that Mumu VDM.

He will purportedly sue them, after the damage has been done.

Sorry, ok they should hold that VDM, & he must face all charges (money laundering) for the corruption accusation labeled against him by The EFCC.

Are u satisfied now? .

Use your brain if you have any. Yes, he can sue EFCC just as others have sued him for various comments he made about them. You are a typical example of a slave valuing his chains more than his life.
