After spending five days in detention, he was freed on Wednesday evening. In a video that quickly went viral on social media, VeryDarkMan explained that the EFCC accused him of being involved in money laundering.
He expressed disbelief at the allegations, questioning how someone with minimal wealth could be accused of laundering money. “They think I’m into money laundering? I no even get money,” he said, laughing. “I’ve done many charities and they wonder how. They don’t know I do charity with debts.”

He concluded by assuring his followers that he's “outside now” and ready to fight back — with his lawyer by his side.
The arrest has sparked conversations about freedom of expression and the overreach of financial crimes investigations in Nigeria.
