Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has been detained by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged financial crimes.

Key Points:

1. EFCC’s Action:
The EFCC arrested Otse after he failed to respond to multiple invitations for questioning. He is accused of serious financial misconduct.

2. Offer of Bail:
The EFCC announced that Otse had been granted administrative bail, but he remains in custody until all bail conditions are fulfilled.

3. Lawyer’s Struggle:
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, claims they have not received any official bail documentation despite several requests, calling the bail announcement “social media bail.”

4. Public Response:
Otse’s arrest has triggered widespread protests and backlash from supporters, legal experts, and public figures including Peter Obi.

The EFCC emphasized that the arrest is legal and not a retaliation for Otse’s criticism of the Commission’s work on social media.
