Following the arrest of billionaire businessman E-Money by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), activist Verydarkman has thus come forward to exchange words. News has it that the arrest was due to allegations of Naira abuse, which has generated a lot of interest.
He said, “Verydarkman also criticized the EFCC for its double standards.” The example he gave is that of an incident involving children of an industrialist, Razaq Okoya and no actions taken to arrest or prosecute them. The inconsistency, according to him, is a clear case of witch-hunting against Igbo people.
In a passionate video shared online, he expresses regret over the actions of EFCC as selective persecution and the way E-Money was arrested, wherein he noted, “About 50 men stormed E-Money’s house and that was how they arrested him… They invited Okoya’s kids but nothing was done; that case disappeared. But now you go to E-Money’s house to pick him up, saying his leg mistakenly touched the Naira?”
He further hinted that it could be an ethnically motivated arrest and called on the Igbo community to stay alert and cautious. He further added in his post on social media that “@iam_emoney1 is currently at ” alledgely at @officialefcc custody. I think I am starting to get a smell of vendetta against the Igbos.
Igbos, be careful-they are coming for you. OKOYA CHILDREN ARE STILL WALKING FREELY.”
Netizens at the moment engaged in discourse courtesy of the video with very many sounding their own voices-echoing those of Verydarkman regarding the inequality in treatment of people by the law enforcement action.
Even when it hasn’t given more vivid public release pertaining to such claims, the EFCC has continued to gain significant interest from the public.
