VeryDarkMan’s release comes after sustained advocacy and pressure from supporters and activists calling for his freedom.

Recall that VDM was arrested by EFCC over allegations of cyberstalking on Friday last week.

A source close to the commission said; “We picked him up based on several complaints that he used his social media platforms to harass, insult, and intimidate individuals — actions that may contravene the Cybercrimes Act of 2015.”

Developing Story, more details will be shared on the Intel Region WhatsApp group as soon as possible.
