As pressure mounts over the detention of social critic VeryDarkMan, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has given the reason it is still holding him.
It said he had yet to meet his bail condition – although it has not spelt such out.
According to the EFCC, the arrest of social media influencer with the real name Martins Otse, was carried out over multiple petitions submitted to its agency.
The anti-graft agency confirmed to BBC News Pidgin through its spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, on Monday.
According to him, VeryDarkMan was taken into custody following complaints from several petitioners on the allegation of cyberstalking.
He said, “We arrested him to respond to a series of allegations raised against him by some petitioners.
“We will release him when he meets the bail conditions and we will take the case to court as soon as possible; we are law-abiding.”
When asked if the case was connected to Guaranty Trust Bank, Oyewale noted that the petitions were from different individuals and the agency owed them a duty of protection.
Oyewole added that the commission was planning to arraign the social media activist.
