Delta Gov Aide Calls VDM 'Dangerous Manipulator' Amid EFCC Probe Claims
Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's media aide Ovie Success accused social media critic Verydarkman (VDM) of being a 'dangerous manipulator' who is deflecting from an actual EFCC investigation. According to Ovie's Wednesday Facebook post reported by DAILY POST, VDM is being investigated for money laundering, terrorism financing, unlawful fundraising, foreign financial interference, tax evasion and other financial crimes.
Ovie claims VDM knew about the EFCC case before returning to Nigeria and is using sympathy from his recent anti-insecurity protests in Abuja and Oyo State to avoid accountability. This comes after VDM alleged APC stalwarts petitioned the EFCC to investigate him for terrorism financing and money laundering following those protests.
The conflicting narratives raise questions about whether the EFCC action represents legitimate law enforcement or political retaliation against VDM's activism. Readers should consider both sides' claims when evaluating VDM's criticism of governance and the anti-graft agency's actions, recognizing potential political motivations in Nigeria's corruption fights.
