Social media influencer, Verydarkman (VDM), has been arrested by the police on the orders of Commissioner of Police Igwe.
According to Deji Adeyanju, a lawyer, VDM was detained after exposing a yet to be identified individual allegedly involved in duping a Nigerian abroad.
The lawyer is of the opinion that rather than pursuing the accused fraudster, the police have charged VDM with defamation. The arrest has sparked public outcry, with many criticizing the law enforcement agency for targeting the whistleblower instead of investigating the fraud allegations.
According to VDM’s Counsel Deji Adeyanju, who posted the development a few minutes ago on X, he was arrested on the instructions of Commissioner of Police, Igwe. However, the tweet didn’t specify the state Command CP Igwe gave the order from.
