The complaint reportedly called for a comprehensive probe into the financial dealings, sponsorship arrangements, and funding sources of both VeryDarkMan and activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju.
Reacting to the development on his social media platforms, VeryDarkMan suggested that the move was politically motivated and designed to intimidate outspoken critics of the government.
The activist alleged that the petition and subsequent invitation formed part of a broader effort to silence dissenting voices and discourage public criticism of governance issues in the country.
According to him, individuals affiliated with the ruling All Progressives Congress were allegedly behind the petition.
“They want to stop us from speaking against this evil government that has failed to protect the lives of Nigerians. So, they used their people to write petitions,” he wrote on his Instagram page.
The controversy has generated widespread discussion online, with supporters and critics weighing in on the implications of the EFCC invitation.
Some social media users argued that public figures and activists should be open to scrutiny and investigations if legitimate concerns are raised regarding their financial activities. Others expressed concern that legal and regulatory processes could potentially be used to target critics and activists.
As of the time of reporting, the EFCC had not publicly commented on the activist’s allegations regarding the motive behind the invitation.
Similarly, there has been no official statement indicating the outcome or status of any investigation arising from the petition.
VeryDarkMan has become one of Nigeria’s most prominent social media commentators in recent years, gaining a large following through his outspoken views on social issues, governance, entertainment controversies, and public accountability.
His activism has frequently placed him at the centre of public debates, earning him both widespread support and criticism.
Meanwhile, the inclusion of Deji Adeyanju in the petition has further heightened public interest in the matter, given the lawyer’s longstanding involvement in advocacy and human rights campaigns.
The development comes amid ongoing conversations about freedom of expression, accountability, and the role of public institutions in investigating allegations involving influential personalities.
While the petition seeks a review of the financial activities of the individuals named, VeryDarkMan maintains that the move is intended to suppress criticism of government policies and performance.
The situation is expected to continue attracting attention as more details emerge regarding the petition, the EFCC invitation, and any subsequent actions by the relevant authorities.
