His arrest sparked widespread outrage across the country, with both fans and celebrities protesting outside EFCC offices to demand his freedom and condemn the agency’s actions.
After spending five days in custody, VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, announced that he was released on the evening of Wednesday, Dailyeconomy reports.

“They don’t know that I use debt for charity.”
