Musicians Davido and Skales Join Chorus for Release of Activist VeryDarkMan
Musicians Davido and Skales Call for Freedom of VeryDarkMan
Following the arrest of social media influencer and rights activist, VeryDarkMan, by suspected agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), popular Nigerian musicians Davido and Skales have added their voices to calls for his release.
As reported by our website, the "Assurance" crooner, Davido, commended Nigerians for rallying in support of VeryDarkMan. He noted the united voice for the activist was a show of a unified youthful force, urging for his immediate release.
In a post on his handle, Davido said, "Outside all the noise, it's good to see that the good one does actually impact lives and people actually appreciate! The support I'm seeing for VDM everywhere is encouraging.. makes one want to do more for the masses. FREE MY GUY."
On the other hand, "Shake Body" singer, Skales, implored the youth to wake up and stand for their rights, advocating for a boycott of GTB in the wake of the arrest. He mentioned the situation was critical and affecting everyone, especially the youth, with an appeal to stay away from GTBank with passion.
This arrest and the ensuing public protest have sparked debates about the legality and transparency of the proceedings, with high-profile individuals and Nigerian youths expressing their concerns. Allegations against VeryDarkMan include allegations of financial crimes such as money laundering, as well as complaints of cyberstalking, which the EFCC has since refuted[1][2][3].
It's worth noting that, after spending five days in custody, VeryDarkMan was released. He refuted money laundering allegations, stating his charitable activities were funded through debt, not illicit means[1].
In summary:
- Reason for Arrest: Multiple petitions accused VeryDarkMan of financial crimes, like money laundering; the EFCC also alleged complaints involving cyberstalking, which they later denied[1][2][3].
- Circumstances: Arrested at a GTBank branch in Abuja during an operation involving EFCC, DSS, and Nigerian Police[2][5].
- Public and Celebrity Reaction: Fans and Nigerian celebrities, including Davido and Skales, voiced their concerns and called for his immediate and unconditional release, questioning the legality and justification of his arrest[1][4].
As the case continues, the public and supporters remain divided, with the EFCC asserting they are following due process while others view the arrest as unwarranted and opaque.
