After spending five consecutive days in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), popular Nigerian social media activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has finally regained his freedom, JomogNews reports.
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”!
