Adeyanju revealed that VDM’s phone and car remained in the possession of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), even after his release.

This update comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding the circumstances of the arrest and its potential implications.

Responding to claims that VDM’s arrest served as a distraction from national political concerns, Adeyanju remarked that those holding such views could now focus on addressing governance issues without any perceived hindrance.

VDM’s legal situation continues to be a topic of public interest, with many awaiting further updates from both his representatives and the EFCC.

In a new update, the legal counsel disclosed that VDM bought a new phone so as to go on social media.

He mentioned that VDM had a hard logging into his account to communicate with his fans and netizens.

He wrote:

“VDM has got a new phone. He couldn’t log into his accounts since morning. That just resolved now. I’m sure you will all hear from him tomorrow.”

“What does EFCC want to do with his other phone? Did they find anything incriminating? If not, give him his dammn phone. That is stealing. You stole/obtained someone’s phone.”

@hommy_001 said:

“VDM should get 2 or more phones and back up data on other device as well. Criminal organizations like EFCC will bite again.”

@dayo4ye wrote:

“I believe the main reason behind his arrest is the phone—they’re likely after evidence stored on it. In my opinion, he needs to rethink his strategy. A work phone should be encrypted so that even if it’s seized, sensitive files can’t be accessed.”

@Daywum said:

“VDM ti ni foonu titun kan. Ko le wọle si erọ ibani soro rẹ lati owurọ. Iyẹn ti yanju ni bayi. Mo ni idaniloju pe gbogbo yin yoo gbọ lati ọdọ rẹ ni ọla. ibanisọ.”
