Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has raised an alarm alleging harassment and corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement, VeryDarkMan claimed that the EFCC invited him to their Lagos office after he exposed popular crossdresser, Bobrisky, for allegedly bribing EFCC officials with N15 million.
VeryDarkMan expressed distrust in the EFCC, stating that he won’t honor the invitation due to lack of faith in the commission’s integrity. He demanded that the EFCC investigate its officers who handled Bobrisky’s case before inviting him.
“Why should I come to your Lagos office when the EFCC headquarters is in Abuja?” VeryDarkMan questioned.
He further alleged that the EFCC’s motive is to silence him, as he doesn’t have a “godfather” or N15 million to secure VIP treatment.
