VDM’s Arrest: Campaign To Boycott GTB, Withdraw Savings Gains Ground In Nigeria
May 3, 2025
Hours after popular social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, was arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), reportedly on the orders of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) over a protest on unauthorised deductions by the bank from customers’ accounts, many Nigerians are considering closing their accounts with the financial institution.
OSUN DEFENDER earlier reported that VDM was arrested by the Nigerian police in Abuja on the orders of GTBank, following his public complaints about alleged unauthorised debits from his mother’s bank account.
The arrest was reportedly initiated after VDM complained about repeated debits from his mother’s account in the name of loan repayments.
Confirming the arrest to reporters on Friday, Deji Adeyanju, legal counsel for VeryDarkMan, said officers of the Nigeria Police Force apprehended his client at Area 3, Abuja.
Adeyanju said, “My client, VeryDarkMan, was arrested today in Abuja by the Nigerian police. His only offence was speaking out about suspicious and repeated debits from his mother’s GTBank account for loans she never took.”
Earlier, VeryDarkMan took to his social media platforms to express his concerns about multiple deductions from his mother’s account.
In a post that has since gone viral, he revealed that they visited a GTBank branch in Abuja to demand an explanation and obtain a copy of her bank statement.
