In a recent revelation, Nigerian human rights activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, disclosed that Femi Falana (SAN), a renowned legal luminary and human rights advocate, has been actively challenging the arrest and detention of popular social media influencer, VeryDarkMan (VDM). According to Adeyanju, Falana has made several calls to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to address what he described as the unlawful detention of the online personality.

Deji Adeyanju, a prominent figure in Nigerian activism, took to social media to update his followers about the situation, correcting a previous statement where he implied that Falana had not been involved in the matter. Adeyanju acknowledged that he had initially been misinformed but has since confirmed that Falana has, in fact, made multiple interventions regarding VDM’s situation.

'Our revered leader and mentor, Femi Falana SAN, has made several calls to the EFCC challenging VDM’s unlawful arrest and detention,' Adeyanju stated, emphasizing that the senior advocate has remained consistent in his advocacy for justice and due process.

The controversy surrounding VeryDarkMan's arrest has sparked public outrage, with many questioning the legality of his detention. Supporters of the influencer have voiced their disapproval on various social media platforms, demanding his release and accusing the authorities of violating his rights. The specific reasons behind VDM's arrest remain unclear, fueling further speculation and debate among his followers and legal experts.

Femi Falana, a respected Senior Advocate of Nigeria known for his fearless pursuit of justice and human rights, has reportedly been persistent in his efforts to engage the EFCC regarding VDM’s detention. His involvement has been seen as a significant move, as many look up to him for his unwavering stance on human rights issues.

The EFCC, on its part, has yet to issue an official statement regarding the circumstances surrounding VDM’s arrest and the allegations, if any, that led to his detention. The silence from the commission has only intensified public curiosity, with many awaiting further developments on the case.

As the situation unfolds, Adeyanju’s update has brought some relief to those advocating for VDM’s freedom, as it reassures them that prominent legal minds like Falana are actively involved. This intervention could potentially pressure the EFCC to address the legality of the arrest and ensure that the influencer's rights are upheld.

Critics of the EFCC’s actions have also called for greater transparency in handling such cases, arguing that arbitrary arrests without clear charges undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in law enforcement agencies. The involvement of someone of Falana's stature has heightened expectations that the case will be thoroughly scrutinized and that justice will be served.

As reactions continue to pour in from various quarters, many are keen to see how the EFCC will respond to Falana’s challenges and whether the calls for VDM’s release will be heeded. Legal experts believe that the senior advocate's persistence could prompt a review of the circumstances surrounding the detention, shedding light on the processes followed by the anti-graft agency.

While the social media community rallies behind VeryDarkMan, the legal battle over his arrest remains a subject of national interest. The coming days may reveal whether Falana’s advocacy will compel the EFCC to reconsider its stance or justify the detention. Until then, Nigerians continue to monitor the unfolding drama, hopeful that justice will ultimately prevail.
