Controversial Social Media Influencer Verydarkman Claims Immunity from EFCC: "I Own This City, The EFCC Can’t Do Me Nothing"
Popular and controversial social media influencer, Verydarkman, has sparked outrage and debate online after making bold claims of immunity from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). In a now-viral video, the influencer declared, "I own this city, the EFCC can’t do me nothing," stirring mixed reactions from Nigerians across social media platforms.
The statement, perceived by many as a direct challenge to the anti-graft agency, has raised questions about accountability and the perceived influence of social media personalities in Nigeria. Verydarkman, known for his outspoken and often controversial commentary on social issues, has amassed a significant following but has also been criticized for his confrontational style.
The video has since gone viral, with many Nigerians condemning the statement as reckless and disrespectful to the EFCC, an agency tasked with combating financial crimes in the country. Some social media users called for the influencer to be investigated, while others dismissed the comment as mere bravado.
A Twitter user wrote, "If the EFCC doesn’t call Verydarkman for questioning after this, then we’ll know the agency is only for the poor." Another user commented, "This is the height of arrogance. No one is above the law."
However, a section of Verydarkman’s supporters defended him, arguing that his statement was taken out of context and was likely meant as a joke or a boast rather than a serious claim of immunity.
As of now, the EFCC has not issued an official statement regarding Verydarkman’s claims. However, legal experts have warned that such statements could attract scrutiny from law enforcement agencies, especially if they are interpreted as an attempt to undermine the authority of the commission.
Verydarkman has gained notoriety for his unfiltered commentary on social and political issues, often calling out celebrities, politicians, and public figures. While some praise him for his boldness, others accuse him of seeking clout through controversy. This latest statement has further cemented his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most polarizing online figures.
It remains to be seen whether the EFCC will respond to Verydarkman’s claims or if the influencer will face any legal consequences. Meanwhile, the incident has reignited discussions about the power of social media influencers and the need for accountability, regardless of one’s online status.
For now, Nigerians are watching closely to see if Verydarkman’s bold declaration will lead to action or if it will simply fade away as another viral moment in the ever-dynamic world of social media.
