- The issue surrounding VDM’s arrest continues to be a mystery to the public, as his friend slammed EFCC for speaking fake news about his bail
- The activist’s best friend went online in a fresh post to call out the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for arresting VDM
- In a new video, he dragged the agency for lying about his bail, urging online users to keep speaking about the issue
Ogaga Okokowamet, aka Dkoko Pee, VeryDarkMan’s best friend, has spoken up in another video concerning the critic’s alleged bail.
VDM was picked up by the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on May 2, 2025. The situation soon escalated into a protest, as members of the Ratel Gang (VDM’s fans) protested at the GTBank branch in Abuja.

The agency issued a statement released on Tuesday, May 6, admitted to arresting the online personality following several petitions accusing him of financial crimes.
This information was made public via their facebook page and it reads thus:
“The EFCC has a lawful right to hold Otse in custody like any other suspect being investigated by the Commission. The appropriate Remand Order was obtained in this regard. He has been offered an administrative bail and would be released after fulfilling all the bail conditions,” the anti-graft agency said in part via its official Facebook page.”
The news brought smiles to the faces of online users, who have long clamoured for his return. On the contrary, Dkokopee has just gone online to debunk such news.
According to him, the EFCC is yet to release VDM’s bail conditions, and he has not been released. He urged online users to continue to lend their voices, until the critic is released from custody.

Samklef lambastes Davido for speaking up
In a former report via TheTalk.NG, music producer Samklef of “7th Heaven” voiced out his opinion regarding VeryDarkMan’s arrest by the EFCC.
VDM was arrested on Friday, May 2, at a GTB branch in Abuja after he went with his mum to lodge complaints concerning debits from her account.
Many have lent their voices to the cause, but Samklef knocked Davido for joining in, amid other things he said.
