EFCC to Investigate Deji Adeyanju and VeryDarkMan Over Alleged Terror Financing

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has opened an inquiry into activist-lawyer Deji Adeyanju and social media personality Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan). They face allegations of terror financing, illicit funding channels and national security violations. A petition filed on June 17 urged the agency to audit their bank accounts, assets, income streams and affiliated entities. The petitioner wants a forensic review to ensure compliance with Nigeria’s anti-money laundering laws and to rule out hidden funds from domestic or foreign actors. The petition also calls for collaboration with intelligence agencies to assess any risks linked to the duo’s funding. It stresses that this is not an accusation of guilt but an effort to foster transparency. A clean outcome would boost public confidence in their activism. The EFCC has yet to release an official statement, but it is expected to act under its statutory mandate.
