Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has responded to recent tensions involving social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM), addressing claims and recounting his past involvement in the activist’s legal troubles.
In a video making rounds online, Sowore detailed how he intervened during VDM’s earlier arrest in 2024, stating that he was contacted to assist when the influencer was facing cybercrime charges.
“The full video – SOWORE’s Response to VDMs threat of sending him to prison.
I find myself defending VDM Easter 2024, I was in U.S when Deji Adeyanju called me to help VDM, he had been charged for Cybercrime, I called the DIG who sent a commissional to release VDM from prison on Sunday,” he said.
Sowore clarified that his frustration is not directed at VDM but at the actions of law enforcement authorities, whom he accused of mishandling the situation.
“I am not concerned with VDM I am angry at police who knew the right thing and choose to exact punishment for a case that wouldn’t go anywhere, it was well planned towards Easter because judges were going on break to resume on 13th April,” he added.
His comments have reignited discussions around the role of the Nigeria Police Force and the handling of cybercrime-related cases, particularly those involving public figures.
