Popular comedian and ex-BBNaija housemate, Aderombi Adedayo Martin, also known as Deeone, has slammed out at lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, for calling out human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), over his silence on the arrest of VeryDarkMan.
VDM was reportedly arrested on Friday, May 2, in Abuja after visiting a branch of Guaranty Trust Bank.
Meanwhile, Adeyanju, VDM's lawyer, had in a post on X(formerly Twitter) on Monday, April 5, 2025, slammed Falana for not speaking against VDM’s ordeal.

He said,
“Deji, what do you want Mr. Falana SAN to do now? You’re suddenly calling him your mentor and leader. But when VDM was online defaming people, misleading the public, nobody mentioned Falana then."
The comedian noted that VDM has crossed legal boundaries and must now defend himself in court like every other citizen. He pointed out that the EFCC chairman, who is also a lawyer, wouldn’t take legal action without proper cause.
He added,
“The EFCC chairman is a lawyer. He knows what he’s doing. Your client has messed up. Go to court and face it like a man"
Deeone also noted that some individuals, including those close to VDM, are taking advantage of his current situation for their own gain.
He claimed,
“Even his brother is gaining from all this. Everybody’s trying to benefit from the drama."
