Newly surfaced video captures VeryDarkMan’s release from EFCC detention, prompting concerns about his well-being after days in custody.
A video circulating online appears to show controversial commentator Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, exiting the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters in Abuja.
The footage, reportedly filmed late Tuesday night, depicts the social media personality being escorted by unidentified individuals as onlookers record the scene.
While the clip confirms his release, the commentator’s physical condition remains unclear.
Supporters online have noted his slowed movements and subdued demeanor in the video, raising questions about his treatment during the five-day detention.
The EFCC has not disclosed details about the release or potential charges.
Human rights groups have called for transparency, urging authorities to either file charges or publicly clarify the basis for the arrest.
Medical professionals on social media advise that post-detention trauma could explain his visible exhaustion in the video.
As of now, neither VeryDarkMan nor his legal team has issued a statement. His social media accounts remain inactive since May 7, deepening concerns among his 580,000+ followers.
A protest demanding the release of VeryDarkMan is currently underway outside the GTbank branch in Abuja, where he was arrested.#freevdm #LaCasaDeLosFamososCol pic.twitter.com/5k7G0aMhrG
