Nigerian youths gathered at a GTBank branch in Abuja to protest the arrest of social media activist Verydarkman.
The protest follows reports of his arrest after a visit to the bank. While there’s confusion about whether the EFCC or the DSS made the arrest, no official statement has been released.
Protesters carried placards reading “Free VDM” and chanted slogans, temporarily disrupting activities around the bank.
Many of them claimed Verydarkman is being targeted for his bold views against corruption and social ills.
Social Media Reactions:
- adestitoali: “Free Verydarkman... The love is massive and real.”
- __pre_cie: “Go to EFCC office where he’s being held and protest – is he inside GTBank?”
- martha.onche.3: “Jobless people. Na inside GTBank VDM dey?”
- mt_daddykhalid: “This shows 99% of Nigeria youths are jobless. No one with bills will protest for a stranger.”
- dahbootee07: “He wasn’t arrested in the bank. Why protest at GTBank?”
