Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore has disclosed the reason behind the EFCC’s arrest of Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VDM.
Sowore stated on his X page that the EFCC apprehended VDM as a means to conceal the allegations he had made against the anti-graft agency.
This contradicts the prevailing online speculation that GTB was responsible for the arrest.
Read his tweet below.
“It has been established that the @officialEFCC unlawfully arrested and detained Martins Vincent Otse aka VDM, as a means to silence him for accusing the agency and its leaders of corruption and malfeasance.
The @officialEFCC is currently exploring legal avenues to charge him in court, possibly tomorrow, in an attempt to legitimize their actions.
Nevertheless, it is essential to state unequivocally that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission @officialEFCC does not possess the authority to prosecute individuals for criminal defamation, criminal libel, or cybercrime, as these are torts that are typically addressed through civil lawsuits.
As a result, the EFCC must release VDM immediately.
