Social media activist VeryDarkMan has stirred reactions online after criticizing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over its reported arrest of Nasir El-Rufai.
In a viral post, he described the agency as “the most corrupt in Nigeria,” alleging that its actions are politically motivated. He claimed that El-Rufai was not investigated while supporting Bola Tinubu during the 2023 election, but is now being targeted because of his alleged opposition to Tinubu’s possible re-election bid in 2027.
VeryDarkMan insisted that the situation proves his long-standing belief that anti-corruption enforcement in the country is selective and influenced by politics.
he was heard sayin in the video:
“I Will Keep Saying This, The EFCC Is The Most Corrupt Agency In Nigeria. Their Arrest Of Nasir El-Rufai Proves Me Right. They Didn’t Arrest Him For Corruption Or Embezzlement While He Was Campaigning For Bola Tinubu In 2023, But Now That He Opposes Tinubu’s Re-Election In 2027, They’ve Suddenly Decided To Go After Him”.
