“You Ignored Emefiele, Yahaya Bello and Kidnapped VDM”: Kokopee Calls Out EFCC, Nigerians React

  • Kokopee, a friend of VeryDarkMan, has accused the EFCC of kidnapping the Nigerian online critic
  • In a new video, Kokopee claimed that the EFCC kidnapped VDM instead of Yahaya Bello, Emefiele and others
  • Kokopee's video about the EFCC allegedly kidnapping VDM instead of corrupt politicians was met with mixed reactions

Kokopee, a close associate of Nigerian online critic VeryDarkMan, has taken to social media to call out the EFCC for detaining him.

In a video that was posted online, Kokopee accused the EFCC of ignoring other people who had allegedly stolen billions of naira, like former CBN governor, Emefiele and former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello.

He also claimed that it was evident that VeryDarkMan has something on the EFCC that is more than the money allegedly stolen by other people.

In the video, Kokopee said:

“The act of kidnapping is what they used to arrest VDM. Emefiele, Yahaya Bello and others who stole billions, they didn’t carry them like that. It’s clear that what VDM has is more than the money those men stole. I won’t blame the EFCC too much because even VeryDarkMan himself… remember that time EFCC busted some people, VDM told people that there’s no time and method to fight crime. Now EFCC has used kidnapping method against him.”

Speaking further, Kokopee encouraged Nigerians to speak up for VDM, noting that any injustice towards him is likely to affect other Nigerians. He said:

“Every youth should not keep quiet about this injustice because if the lion can chop VDM wey be lion, who are you. If you find VDM as the only hope for a better Nigeria, please don’t keep quiet, react the best way you can react.”

In the caption of the video, Kokopee wrote:

“Efcc today is Tuesday, the 5th day after you Abducted Vdm without even acknowledging or telling us why you took him in , maybe we the Nigerian people are too small for you people to address but we thank God that he’s with you people, so please release him to us today!!
We really don’t want trouble , we just want things to be done the right way , we want a country where our voices will be heard , so you guys should do things accordingly!”
