How would they put money laundering on someone that has no money – VeryDarkMan speaks on why he was arrested
Popular Nigerian social critic, VeryDarkMan, has explained that his recent arrest by the EFCC was due to suspicions of money laundering. He was picked up on Friday, May 2, after visiting a GTBank branch in Abuja, sparking national outrage and protests from fans and celebrities who decried his detention as unjust.
After spending five days in custody, he was released on Wednesday. In a video shared online, he expressed surprise at the allegations, insisting he doesn’t have the kind of wealth that would warrant such suspicion.
He said, “They think I am into money laundering, how would they put money laundering for person wey no get money? I have done so many charities, and them they wonder how. They don’t know that I use debt for charity. Anyway, we are outside, with my lawyer, of course.”
