In a now widely circulated video, VeryDarkMan mentioned that his mobile phone is still held by the EFCC, which led him to purchase a new one shortly after his release.

VDM stated, “My phone is currently with the EFCC, but I bought another one after I was released. When I attempted to log into my iCloud account, I discovered that I could no longer access iit.

“EFCC, I want us to start a friendship, but what could ruin that friendship is if you people post the picture you took of me and label it as money laundering.

“If you post that picture claiming it’s about money laundering, then you should also release the full context behind it.

“If I see my picture on your website with a caption suggesting money laundering, you’ll have to prove it. That’s where our issue will begin—and we will settle it in court. It might even become the first open court case of its kind.

“If you truly want friendship, remove any association of that image with money laundering, because it’s a lie against me. I don’t mind anything else you put up—no problem. In fact, I even want to use your placard as my profile picture.

“They didn’t just keep my phone—they logged me out of my iCloud account, meaning they now have access to everything on that phone, including many videos and pieces of evidence. I have a strong feeling they won’t return the phone. And even if they do, the phone is as good as gone.”
