The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently issued a public statement addressing its encounter with social media personality VeryDarkMan, igniting widespread reactions across Nigeria’s digital space. According to the EFCC, the controversial figure was invited for questioning over alleged cyber-related activities and subsequently released after cooperating with authorities.
VeryDarkMan, known for his outspoken online persona and bold commentary on social and political issues, took to social media shortly after the EFCC’s clarification, claiming he was unjustly targeted and treated unfairly. His version of events has further fueled public debate, with supporters demanding transparency and critics questioning his conduct.
On platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, Nigerians expressed mixed reactions. Some applauded the EFCC for addressing the issue swiftly and providing clarity, while others criticized the agency for what they perceived as intimidation of vocal citizens. The incident has once again brought attention to the tension between online activism and law enforcement in Nigeria.
As the dust settles, many are calling for both accountability and respect for freedom of expression, highlighting the growing power of social media voices in shaping public discourse.
