The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday confirmed that social critic, Martins Ortse aka VeryDarkMan, will soon be charged to court.
EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale said VDM as he is popularly called was arrested due to multiple petitions against him.
Speaking to BBC News Pidgin, Oyewale said VeryDarkMan was taken into custody following complaints from several petitioners on the allegation of cyberstalking.
He said, “We arrested him to respond to a series of allegations raised against him by some petitioners.
“We will release him when he meets the bail conditions and we will take the case to court as soon as possible. We are law-abiding.”
When asked if the case was connected to Guaranty Trust Bank, Oyewale noted that the petitions were from different individuals and the agency owed them a duty of protection.
DAILY POST reports that VDM was arrested on Friday, by the EFCC over an undisclosed offense.
Before his arrest, the social critic had announced his visit to one of the GTBank branches in Abuja, to complain about an alleged deduction from his mother’s account.
Following his arrest, the activist was said to have been manhandled by operatives of the anti-graft agency.
