Confirming the arrest to SaharaReporters on Friday, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, legal counsel for VeryDarkMan, said officers of the Nigeria Police Force apprehended his client at Area 3, Abuja.

Confirming the arrest to SaharaReporters on Friday, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, legal counsel for VeryDarkMan, said officers of the Nigeria Police Force apprehended his client at Area 3, Abuja.

The arrest was reportedly initiated by GTBank after VeryDarkMan made complaints about repeated debits from his mother’s in the name of loan repayments.

Adeyanju said, “My client, VeryDarkMan, was arrested today in Abuja by the Nigerian police. His only offence was speaking out about suspicious and repeated debits from his mother’s GTBank for loans she never took.”

Earlier, VeryDarkMan took to his social media platforms to express his concerns about multiple deductions from his mother’s .

In a post that has since gone viral, he revealed that they visited a GTBank branch in Abuja to demand an explanation and obtain a copy of her bank statement.

“Myself and my mom just arrived at GTBank to get an explanation for the constant debit from her by GTBank in the name of loan repayments that she never took. In this year alone, see the amount of times she has been debited with different amounts,” he wrote.

“We have requested her bank statements so we know when the debiting started. So far, in this year alone, there have been more than seven debits on loan repayments. GTBank staff are cooperating—hopefully, we’ll know why they keep doing this.”

In a related incident reported by SaharaReporters on April 14, 2025, Ariyo Ahmed Adewale accused Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) of orchestrating his arrest after he staged a protest inside one of its Lagos branches over the alleged disappearance of funds from his .


Ariyo said he had gone to the GTBank branch in the Kosofe area of Lagos to demand answers after discovering unauthorised transactions exceeding ₦2 million had been carried out on his . He claimed the transactions were linked to the online shopping platform Jumia — a service he maintains he has never used.

"On Saturday, the 7th of last week, I discovered that N2,000,000 had been debited from my GTBank without my authorisation," Ariyo said.

"As soon as I noticed the transaction, I immediately called GTBank customer care to report the incident and request that my be blocked. Unfortunately, before they could act, the unauthorised transactions had already increased."

According to him, the bank claimed the transactions were made using his debit card on Jumia, but Ariyo disputed this.

"I have never used Jumia in my life. I didn’t authorise any purchases or payments, and my card was with me the entire time. My phone was also with me—nobody else had access to it,” he said.

To clarify things, he visited the GTBank branch in Kosofe to request a detailed statement.

However, he said his requests were met with resistance.

He said officers from Alapere station asked him to write a formal complaint and advised that his lawyer file a petition concerning the transactions.

GTB is An Extension of APC Government

GTBank is making a huge mistake. If they are pursuing legal action. He could easily rally numerous witnesses—GTBank’s own customers—turning this into a fraud case against the bank. This could tank their stocks, as GTBank is notorious for unauthorized debits; my dad banks with them and knows this firsthand. Who even thought this route was a good idea?

Is GTB a court to order the arrest of a citizen?

Let's see what exactly he's being charged for.

Sensationalism doesn't cut it.

This is Tinubu telling the world about the problems of Nigeria and Africa, what APC will call “de-marketing”.

What he doesn’t mention is that in Nigeria, a rich man or company can order the arrest, detention and torture of someone they’re richer or more influential than.

The countries you’re begging to help Nigeria know that you have a lavish owambe party waiting somewhere to happen when they send you money from their taxpayers for aid. You use your poor people to beg for money, and then the politicians waste the money on lavish lifestyle and vacations abroad.
