Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has accused Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) of facilitating the arrest of VeryDarkMan (VDM), by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement on Friday, Adeyanju revealed that VDM is currently being held in EFCC custody following his arrest at a GTBank branch in Abuja. He alleged that VDM was detained after visiting the bank with his mother to report unauthorized deductions from her account, which were allegedly labeled as “loan repayments” despite her never applying for any loan.
Adeyanju claimed that GTBank staff deliberately locked VDM inside the bank’s exit door for over five minutes, giving EFCC officials time to arrest him and his friend, identified as C Park.
“Our lawyers, led by the Head of our firm, @Marvin_Omorogbe, just met VDM’s friend in EFCC custody. VDM refused to come out of the cell; he said he won’t see anyone,” Adeyanju disclosed.
He condemned the arrest and described GTBank’s involvement as inhumane and unlawful.
As of the time of this report, neither GTBank nor the EFCC has issued an official response to the allegations.
