Controversial social commentator, VeryDarkMan, has raised an alarm over an alleged move by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to circulate his mugshot bearing money laundering allegations.
This development comes just three days after his release from EFCC custody on Wednesday.
He was taken into custody shortly after visiting a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) branch in Abuja to address claims of unauthorized deductions from his mother’s account.
His detention triggered widespread backlash across social media, with many users including public figures and political voices calling for his immediate release.
In response, the EFCC clarified in a statement that the arrest was based on several complaints filed by unnamed individuals accusing him of involvement in financial misconduct.
Following his release, his legal representative, Deji Adeyanju, disclosed that both his mobile phone and vehicle remain in EFCC custody, despite his bail having been granted.
On Friday, through a post on Instagram, VeryDarkMan expressed his concern about the release of his mugshot, allegedly tagged with money laundering and tax evasion accusations. He warned that while he is attempting to maintain a cordial relationship with the agency, he will not hesitate to publicly criticize the EFCC if the misleading label is not removed from the image.
“EFCC, you know we are starting a friendship. I want to talk about what can spoil our friendship. You took a picture of me, where there will be a problem, is seeing that picture being shared with money laundering being written on it.

“But if you release my picture on your page and I see money laundering. It might be the first case we would do in the open, because you will first of all prove the money laundering to the whole Nigeria.
“You put tax evasion, no problem. But if the money laundering is there, you will have to prove it. It only means that all the charges you put on people are all lies.
“Remove the money laundering. You know I saw it and I told you I was going to talk about it.”
