Controversial figure VeryDarkMan (VDM) has boldly dared the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest him after sharing a provocative post on Instagram. The post, which shows VDM spraying naira notes in a club, has sparked a wave of attention online.
In the post, VDM adopted the surname “Okoya” and made a defiant statement that “where there is no law, there is no crime.” His words seem to mock the EFCC’s stance on the public display of wealth, a topic that has recently stirred controversy in Nigeria. VDM further tagged the EFCC’s official Instagram account, asking, “How are you doing?” in what appears to be a direct challenge to the agency.
The post has been widely viewed as a response to the EFCC’s recent actions involving the sons of billionaire businessman Okoya, who were also investigated for spraying money at a public event. VDM’s choice to openly flaunt wealth in this manner seems to be a calculated move in response to the ongoing discussions surrounding the EFCC’s handling of such cases.
The EFCC has not yet commented on the post, but the dare from VDM places additional pressure on the agency, which has faced criticism for its inconsistent approach to enforcing laws related to the public display of wealth. By tagging the EFCC in his post, VDM has effectively made the matter a public spectacle.
