VDM's Arrest: Trending Video of EFCC's Alleged Invite to Critic Emerges, Fans Ask "Ex-Convict How?"

• Following VDM's arrest, a new video allegedly from the office of the EFCC has made its way online, igniting a fresh wave of reactions
• It would be recalled that following Vincent Martins Otse's arrest, the likes of Peter Obi, Sowore, Davido, and many more have lent their voices
• The agency's spokesperson was seen in the video extending an invitation to VDM to assist in an investigation

In an unexpected turn of events, a video from the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has made its way online.

In the video, the spokesperson was seen reading out a statement which was an extension of the agency’s alleged invitation to Martins Vincent Ose, aka VeryDarkMan, to assist with an invitation.

It is not certain when exactly this tape was released; however, words on the streets of social media have it that the online critic failed to honour the invitation, and that was why he was arrested.

It is no longer news that VDM was arrested by the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on May 2, 2025. The situation soon escalated into a protest, as members of the Ratel Gang (VDM's fans) protested at the GTBank branch in Abuja.

The said clip was shared by an online blog identified as @9jablogig, and has now divided many and caused arguments online, as fans try to understand the situation.
