While acknowledging the public support for VeryDarkMan, Davido wrote;
“Outside all the noise it’s good to see that the good one does actually impacts lives and people actually appreciate! The support I’m seeing for VDM everywhere is encouraging, makes one want to do more for the masses. FREE MY GUY.”
Stanley Ontop made the allegations in an Instagram post on Sunday while reacting to viral reports that VeryDarkMan was arrested by GTBank.
While accusing Mercy Chinwo of ordering the arrest, the actor tagged Nigerian churches as another government agency that uses the police, EFCC and military to oppress the citizens.
“GTBANK is not responsible for VDM arrest at their premises. Mercy Chinwo is responsible for the arrest of VDM.
Church is another government agency that uses our police, EFCC or military to intimidate citizens. Mercy Chinwo is the problem now, not GTBank”.
VeryDarkMan was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday, May 2.
VDM has been involved in several controversies in the past. The Edo state-born activist has been linked to online controversies involving gospel singer Mercy Chinwo, Bobrisky and most recently, Nedu Wazobia.
