BBC News Pidgin has insisted that it stands by the reason it gave for the arrest of controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Recall that on Monday, the platform quoted EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, as saying VDM was arrested after several petitions were filed against him, and he’ll be released as soon as he meets the bail conditions, before the case is taken to court.
However, the commission immediately refuted BBC News’ report by labelling it fake news across its social media platforms, and as expected, there has been a lot of blame game going on since then.
