- Verydarkman has shared his take on the EFCC staff killed by a Nigerian man, who was said to be involved in cybercrime
- The social critic noted that many Nigerian youths on social media rejoiced over the death of the EFCC staff and gave their reasons
- He advised the agency to change the way it operates if it wants Nigerians to sympathise with the anti-graft agency
Media personality Vincent Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman (VDM), has advised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on how it should operate.
His statement was spurred by the recent death of an EFCC staff, Assistant Superintendent II Aminu Sahabi Salisu. He was killed by one Joshua Chukwubueze Ikechukwu in Ifite Awka, Anambra state, as he and his colleagues attempted to arrest the suspect.

According to the EFCC, Ikechukwu was suspected to be involved in online medical supplies of questionable legitimacy and other internet fraud activities. The commission said Ikechukwu did not cooperate, instead, he brought a gun and shot the EFCC staff, which led to his death, and he injured another.
In reaction, VDM said many Nigerian youths on social media rejoiced over the staff's death because they had been reportedly harassed by some officials of the anti-graft agency. Hence, they don't mind killing more EFCC staff.
VDM advises EFCC
The social critic said EFCC should change its pattern of fighting crime because Nigerians were angry with them. He said he used to think that it was only the police that some Nigerians disliked, but he did not know it had been extended to the EFCC.
He advised the agency to work with the right intel instead of just barging into people's homes without concrete information. Nevertheless, VDM slammed some people who complained about the time some EFCC staff operate in people's homes.
VDM said that there was no time to fight crime and if some people were not comfortable with the EFCC operating at night, laws should be made that security operatives should close by 6pm.
VDM gives credit to EFCC
According to Verydarkman, some EFCC officials were doing a good job and helped him recover stolen money. He recalled when he helped a lady recover her N36m, and all she gave the official who helped her was N20k.
VDM said he had to give the EFCC official some money from his pocket to encourage him. He also tackled some netizens who claimed that he was working for the government.
Consequently, he cursed anyone who shared a false narrative about him, adding that no one can cancel him in Nigeria, not even President Bola Tinubu.
