Dkokopee alleged that the EFCC picked up VDM, as he criticised the anti-graft agency over the arrest, questioning why the critic was not invited or taken into custody with a warrant.

“It’s alleged that the EFCC are the ones with @verydarkblackman in their headquarters in Abuja , they are the ones that whisked him away,” he added in the caption.

This is coming after Dkokopee had called out GTBank over VDM’s whereabouts.

According to the singer, some policemen whisked VDM away. Dkokopee further questioned whether the bank was trying to cover its tracks.
