Popular social media activist, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, VDM, has regained his freedom from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

DAILY POST reports that VDM has been in the custody of the anti-graft agency since he was arrested in Abuja on Friday.

There has been uproar across the nation with Nigeria youths demanding his immediate and unconditional release.

EFCC said on Tuesday that the arrest followed a series of petitions against the activist, claiming that several invitations were communicated to him but he failed to honour them.

In an update on his official Facebook page on Wednesday evening, an activist cum politician, Omoyele Sowore, said “VDM Released”!

Justice served. No voice should be silenced for standing up against corruption and injustice. The release of VeryDarkMan is a reminder that activism, when rooted in truth, cannot be caged for long.
May this strengthen the resolve of all who speak for the voiceless — ability and transparency remain non-negotiable in a just society.

I wonder the magic this government want to use to swindle the masses for votes comes 2027. Even Mobutu seseseko was not this insensitive. Let's see the wonder that a Congo of garri and beans will do on the masses by then. We are truly waiting. Let's all politicians in opposition decamp to APC. Probably they will be the one to vote. We are waiting.

Rufai Oseni has been right all the while. VDM was in EFCC not DSS custody. Well, I expect VDM to sue them for denial of freedom if he were innocent. In developed countries, they only arrest when a prima facie case is established. In Nigeria, we arrest on mere suspicions and release when not found guilty. Standing justice on its head.

Lol
There's a very thin line between activism, freedom of speech and libel.

Like Yoruba elders will say, every statement has a response but not every response should be uttered.

Anyone can be anything, but laws won't change because of you. People will probably think it's their reactions and protests that prompted his release. Lol. Dey play.

Just because someone we like is the one breaking the law does not make it right and just because the authorities decided to do their jobs does not make them the enemy. Everybody keeps encouraging him in his unwise approach, I hope it'll be all worth it at the end.

You can do the right thing in the wrong way and that's exactly what he's doing. Segalink has had a great impact without being a nuisance. People have fought for people and stood up for the truth without being uncouth, irate and disrespectful.

Nigerians will keep hailing you just because you are speaking against their perceived enemies, case in point is Nnamdi Kanu. Let the consequences come and you'll be shocked that you can ever be so easily forgotten by the same people you thought you were fighting for.

Be an activist but be a legally informed activist.
