Controversial social commentator Verydarkman has warned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the possible release of his mugshot taken during his recent detention.
In a video posted shortly after regaining access to his social media accounts, the outspoken critic revealed that the EFCC had taken a photograph of him during his nearly five-day stay in custody.
However, he cautioned the agency against publicizing the image—especially with any mention of “money laundering.”
“You people took a picture of me. Where wahala go dey na if you release that photo of me with money laundering on it. If una release my picture for una page and I con go see money laundering, you people will prove it,” he said.
Verydarkman emphasized that labeling him a fraudster without proof would damage his reputation and cast doubt on past EFCC arrests.
“I’m not a fraudster. And if you put money laundering, it only means everyone you once arrested with the same mugshot means it’s a lie,” he added.
Targets GTBank Over Alleged Role in Arrest
In the same video, Verydarkman accused Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) of playing a role in his detention. He claimed that video evidence—stored on his confiscated phone—links the bank to the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
The video was captioned:
“Dear EFCC, as we are about to become friends in the quest for a better Nigeria, we have to start with integrity and clean hands. We cannot start with lies… and as for @gtbank, I will be needing some explanations o.”
As the story unfolds, Nigerians await possible responses from both the EFCC and GTBank.
