Popular rights activist and social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the development in a phone conversation on Tuesday.

VDM was arrested by operatives of the anti-graft agency in Abuja on Friday, an action that triggered widespread reactions across social media platforms.

The arrest drew criticism from several public figures, including the 2023 presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively, as well as music star Davido, all of whom called for his immediate release.
