Enough Is Eπough: VeryDarkMan Sends Stroπg Warπing To EFCC
Social media influencer and activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has vowed to drag the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to court if the agency publishes his picture with claims linking him to money laundering.
VDM, who was recently released from EFCC custody, made the threat in a video he posted on social media.
He revealed that the anti-graft agency took his picture holding their standard placard but warned of legal consequences if the commission uses the image to claim his involvement in financial crimes.
“EFCC, I want us to start a friendship, but what could ruin that friendship is if you people post the picture you took of me and label it as money laundering.
“If you post that picture claiming it’s about money laundering, then you should also release the full context behind it,” VDM said in the video posted on his Instagram page.
He firmly maintained that any such publication would be met with immediate legal action.
He threatened, “If I see my picture on your website with a caption suggesting money laundering, you’ll have to prove it.
“That’s where our issue will begin, and we will settle it in court. It might even become the first open court case of its kind.
“If you go ahead and post it, it simply means the picture with the alleged money laundering claim is false.”
VDM also disclosed that his mobile phone remains in EFCC custody, expressing concerns over potential tampering with his personal documents.
He noted that though he got another phone when he was released, he has not been able to access his iCloud.
He emphasised that his main issue lies not with the image itself but with any association of it with criminal allegations.
He said, “If you truly want friendship, remove any association of that image with money laundering, because it’s a lie against me.
“I don’t mind anything else you put up — no problem. In fact, I even want to use your placard as my profile picture.”
