EFCC Still Holding VeryDarkMan’s Phone After 4 Months – Nigerians Demand Justice
It has been more than four months since popular social commentator and activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) had his phone seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). What started as a routine investigation has now turned into a prolonged battle, sparking outrage among Nigerians who believe his fundamental rights are being violated.
The Background
In May 2025, EFCC reportedly invited VeryDarkMan for questioning over some of his controversial online commentaries. During the process, his mobile phone was taken by the agency as part of their investigations. Nigerians expected that after a few days, the phone would be returned. Shockingly, over 120 days have passed, and EFCC is yet to release his device.
Why This Issue Matters
VeryDarkMan is not just another social media influencer; he is a fearless voice who constantly calls out injustice, corruption, and abuse of power. For many young Nigerians, his outspoken nature represents hope, truth, and resistance against oppression.
Holding on to his phone for over four months is more than an inconvenience. It feels like a strategic attempt to silence him and limit his access to his supporters. In today’s digital world, a smartphone is not just a gadget; it is a person’s office, livelihood, and connection to the outside world.
Public Reactions
Across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, thousands of Nigerians have voiced their displeasure over the EFCC’s actions. Hashtags like #FreeVDMPhone and #JusticeForVeryDarkMan have started trending, showing the level of public interest in the matter.
The Call for Action
Nigerians are now uniting to demand accountability. Civil society groups, human rights advocates, and ordinary citizens have joined forces to pressure EFCC into doing the right thing. That is why a petition has been created – to gather signatures from people who believe that justice should not only be done but must also be seen to be done.
