VeryDarkMan said:
“On reaching EFCC, they brought up one allegation against me that is very crazy.”VDM explained that when he went to China, he invested a lot of moeny into his idea about combating scams by online vendors since he already uses his platform to help people recover their funds. He then wondered how the woman, Princess Barbara Odoh, could accuse him of intellectual property theft when she had no social media presence. In his words:
“This woman is alleging that the idea is her idea. Madam how is it your idea? This is what I do, this is what I use my platform to do in this country, I have a very big platform, people get scammed and I make sure they get their money back. I’ve collected millions. I know how many millions I have helped people recover. You this madam that you’re claiming it’s your idea, who knows you? Who are you in the scheme of things? What have you ever done? How much have you helped somebody to recover for you to claim that this idea is your idea?”Speaking further, VDM added that it seemed they were only trying to pin something on him just to get him jailed. He then advised them to find stronger claims against him.
“If una wan hold me, make una find something very big, no be all these ones, I big pass all these things”, he said.According to VeryDarkMan, his goal is to be able to say that he had great impact in Nigeria before his death. He said:
“My pride in all of this is to beat my chest and say I did something in this country before I leave this world.”However, VDM vowed to sue his accuser and to also take traditional steps by swearing with ‘juju’. He said:
“Madam you go go court and you go swear juju.”See the video below:
