In a passionate tweet, VDM's lawyer outlined the circumstances surrounding the arrest, insisting that no lawful grounds were presented for the detention.
His tweet reads:
“VDM was arrested by the police at GTB today. He spoke to the officers before being taken into custody. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime, and no one should be punished for standing up for their rights.”

Millionaire Businessman commented:
"EFCC should release him with immediate effect before Nigerian youths step into the matter."
Omoluabi wrote:
"He dey jam talk sometimes. If you wanna take on the establishment, you must not only be courageous, you must be very smart. Let's see what EFCC alleges, but after surviving this, he should do better."
Chigozie commented:
"Deji, you are super smart and brilliant. And I understand what you are trying to achieve with VDM. Try dey advise the boy well. He makes a lot of self-defeating errors that could possibly lead him to prison. If I can point these things out, I know you certainly do, but ignore.
United Force reacted:
"Go there and find out the reason they detain him. Are you not be lawyer? Worst comes to worst, they take him to court."
Trister claimed:
"VDM has been denied food, access, and treatment. @officialEFCC are planning to murder him. Do something!!"
