Nigerian musician Seun Kuti claims that the arrest of social media personality Very Dark Man (VDM) in Abuja stems from a prior dispute with a gospel singer.

The arrest has caused an online uproar, with many celebrities, like Davido, demanding his release.

During a live video on Instagram, Kuti, citing a conversation with VDM’s lawyer Deji Adeyanju, who also represents him in a separate case against GTB and other banks, criticized Nigerian banks, stating, “There’s no good bank in Nigeria.”

Kuti further alleged that VDM is being targeted by religious groups and authorities, saying, “Big pastors are running Nigeria alongside the federal government, and the people of God are fighting VDM for speaking the truth.”

While calling for VDM’s release, Kuti stressed that religious organizations are behind the opposition to VDM.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW


The arrest of VeryDarkMan and Seun Kuti’s subsequent allegations have sparked controversy involving free speech, religious influence, and institutional power in Nigeria.

Kuti’s claims, rooted in his conversation with VDM’s lawyer, point to a conspiracy involving a gospel singer, religious leaders, and banks like GTB, though these remain unconfirmed.

The public’s reaction, amplified on platforms like X, underscores the tension between activism and authority in Nigeria. As the story develops, clarity from the EFCC and other involved parties will be crucial to understanding the truth behind VDM’s arrest.
