DAVIDO CALLS FOR RELEASE OF VERYDARKMAN, CONDEMNS SILENCE SURROUNDING ARREST
Afrobeats superstar Davido has joined the growing chorus of voices demanding the release of social media activist VeryDarkMan, whose recent arrest has sparked widespread concern online.
VeryDarkMan was reportedly apprehended following a visit to a GTBank branch, with claims linking his detention to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). However, as of the time of this report, the EFCC has neither confirmed his arrest nor issued a public statement regarding his whereabouts or alleged charges.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Davido expressed admiration for the solidarity shown by Nigerians towards the detained activist. He noted that such public support serves as motivation for him to continue advocating for the people.
“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,” he wrote.
The singer’s post has since generated a wave of reactions from fans and social media users. While some praised his stance, others used the moment to air unrelated grievances.
One user, @bigwizarrdd, commented:
“So you fit address this one but you no fit address wetin Spotify do you? We your fans are tired of the fraud you’re doing on Spotify… FIX UP.”
Another, @TheDamiForeign, threatened:
“I’m giving GTBank 24 hours to release VDM, or else I will step in!”
Legal opinions also surfaced, with @Street__lawyer noting:
“Davido has the fame, power and resources to bring VDM out. We should all remember he’s a national figure. OON is not a small title.”
The call for transparency continues to trend, as Nigerians await official clarification on the circumstances surrounding VeryDarkMan’s detention.
