Lawmaker condemns arrest of VDM
The member representing Ndokwa/Ukwuani federal constituency in House of Representatives, Rep. Nnamdi Ezechi has vehemently condemned the arrest of Mr Martins Otse popularly known as Very Dark Man (VDM).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that On May 2, Martins Otse was arested on allegation of cyberstalking the Guarantee Trust Bank, Abuja.
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.
Ezechi said that it was unethical for banks to disclose informations about movement or privacy of their customers especially law abiding customers like VDM.
According to him, VDM is a Human Rights Activist who fights for the rights of oppressed and common people in the society.
