Vincent Otse, popular as Verydarkman, VDM, a Social Media Activist, known for his activism and exposure of the ills of the society, has confirmed that the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has invited him to its office.
It was gathered that the Social Media Influencer was invited by the EFCC following a complaint submitted to the anti-graft agency by legal practitioner, Blessing Agbomhere, of Blessing Agbomhere & Partners, who requested that the EFCC should do a comprehensive investigation into the financial activities, sponsorship arrangements, and funding channels of both VeryDarkMan and his Lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, also a Human Rights Activist.
Confirming the invitation in his Instagram handle, VDM claimed that the probe is a calculated attempt to silence dissenting voices in the country.
He alleged that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, used the legal channels to initiate the inquiry in order to suppress public criticism of the current administration’s shortcomings.
He also wrote on his update: “(THEY WANT TO STOP US FROM SPEAKING AGAINST THIS GOVERNMENT THAT HAS FAILED TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF NIGERIANS, SO THEY USED THEIR PEOPLE TO WRITE PETITIONS)”.
The leader of the Ratel Movement further detailed the contents of the complaint, stating that the political establishment wants to frame their organic advocacy work as an illegal operation.
“They say APC wrote a petition to efcc to investigate myself and @adeyanjudeji according to the petition they are claiming we are fighting against bad governance and therefore we are being sponsored so they need to investigate US, they claim our protest is so organized and well organic, they are surprised by the turnout of Nigerians that want change, SO FOR THAT REASON APC member who is also a lawyer wrote a petition.
“In a nutshell they want to claim we are sponsoring terrorism in other to disrupt APC GOVERNMENT”.
He also noted that the petitioner, Blessing Agbomhere, is an APC member from his own local government area of Etsako in Edo State.
According to the documents he shared, the petition was received by the commission’s headquarters on June 18, 2026.
