Davido calls for the release of detained Nigerian social activist - VeryDarkMan (VDM)
Afrobeat superstar, Davido has lent his support to the calls to free VeryDarkMan (VDM), a Nigerian social media influencer arrested by the EFCC on May 2, 2025. The EFCC alleged VDM was involved in cyberstalking. This is coming after VDM’s role in advocating for the masses and exposing corruption, which resonates with Davido’s own philanthropy.
It is alleged the arrest occurred inside a GTBank branch after VDM complained about unauthorized deductions from his mother's bank account withthe bank. The arrest has sparked both online and offline protests with critics like lawyer Deji Adeyanju and activist Omoyele Sowore arguing it’s an attempt to silence VDM for accusing the EFCC of corruption.
The #FreeVDM hashtag has gained traction on social platforms since.
Outside all the noise it’s good to see that the good one does actually impacts lives and Pple actually appreciate! The support I’m seeing for VDM everywhere is encouraging.. makes one want to do more for the masses ❤️ FREE MY GUY

#FREEVDM
The old system in Nigeria don't realise the present days youths are not easily deceived. VDM may not be a perfect person but we can't deny he has done a lot to hold the government accountable #freevd
