How Guaranty Trust Bank caused arrest of VeryDarkMan by EFCC – Lawyer

Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has accused Guaranty Trust Bank of using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to arrest VeryDarkMan (VDM.

In a statement on Friday, Adeyanju revealed that VDM is currently being held in EFCC custody following his arrest at a GTBank branch in Abuja.

He alleged that VDM was detained after visiting the bank with his mother to report unauthorized deductions from her account, which were allegedly labelled as “loan repayments” despite her never applying for any loan.

Adeyanju claimed that GTBank staff deliberately locked VDM inside the bank’s exit door for over five minutes, giving EFCC officials time to arrest him and his friend, identified as C Park.

“Our lawyers, led by the Head of our firm, @Marvin_Omorogbe, just met VDM’s friend in EFCC custody. VDM refused to come out of the cell; he said he won’t see anyone,” Adeyanju disclosed.

He condemned the arrest and described GTBank’s involvement as inhumane and unlawful.
