VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju has disclosed that prominent human rights lawyer and activist, Femi Falana contacted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and demanded the release of detained social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan despite their differences.
He made this known on Wednesday, in a post he shared on his verified X handle.
He wrote: “I have now confirmed that contrary to my previous post the other day that our revered leader and mentor, Femi Falana, SAN, has made several calls to EFCC challenging VDM’s unlawful arrest and detention.”

Prior to the post, Adeyanju had earlier criticised Falana for his perceived silence regarding VeryDarkMan’s continued detention, which he described as unlawful.
Falana’s intervention comes despite an ongoing legal dispute between his family and VeryDarkMan.
The Falana family had filed a N1 billion defamation suit against VeryDarkMan following the circulation of a leaked voice recording in which popular crossdresser Bobrisky allegedly claimed that musician Falz contacted him while in jail, offering to help secure a presidential pardon for N10 million through his father.
