NAN reports that he visited the bank, where he complained about alleged unauthorized deduction of funds from his mother’s account.
Ezechi who described the arrest as unprofessional, called on the Nigerian Police Authorities to prioritize professionalism in the discharge of their constitutional duties.
He said that the police would have invited him professionally as a law abiding citizen of Nigeria than applying a gestapo approach.
“I, Hon Nnamdi Ezechi vehemently condemn the arrest of Very Dark Man at the Guarantee Trust Bank, Abuja.
“Very Dark Man, I know is not a criminal, and as such cannot be arrested like a criminal,” he said.
The lawmaker who called for VDM’s immediate release, advised banks especially GTB management to always protect their customers’ privacy.
