EFCC to Probe Deji Adeyanju, VeryDarkMan Over Alleged Terror Financing, Funding Activities
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to investigate activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju and social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, over allegations bordering on terror financing, illicit funding networks and other potential national security concerns.
The planned investigation follows a petition submitted to the anti-graft agency by legal practitioner Blessing Agbomhere, who called for a comprehensive examination of the financial activities of the two public figures.
In the petition, Agbomhere urged the EFCC to scrutinise the sources of funds, sponsorship arrangements and other financial transactions linked to Adeyanju and VeryDarkMan, alleging that the probe was necessary in the interest of national security and transparency.
According to the petitioner, the investigation should determine whether any of the financial activities of the duo contravene existing laws relating to terrorism financing, money laundering or other financial crimes.
The EFCC has yet to issue an official statement on the allegations or confirm the commencement of the investigation.
Neither Adeyanju nor VeryDarkMan had publicly responded to the petition as of the time of filing this report.
The development comes amid growing calls for regulatory scrutiny of funding sources and financial activities associated with public figures, social media influencers and advocacy groups.
