Deji Adeyanju Questions Falana’s Silence Amid VeryDarkMan’s Arrest

The controversy surrounding the recent arrest of outspoken social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM) continues to spark outrage, as his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has publicly called out renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, over his silence.

VDM was recently apprehended by security operatives in Abuja, with some online reports linking gospel singer Mercy Chinwo to the incident — although details remain unconfirmed.

In a recent Facebook post, Adeyanju criticized Falana for not speaking out against the arrest. Referencing a previous incident during President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure, Adeyanju recalled how he was quick to defend a young man who had previously led an attack against him, once that same individual became a target of state security.

He wrote:

“Our revered leader and mentor, Femi Falana SAN yet to condemn the arrest of VDM. Interesting times indeed! When the boy that lead people to attack me under Buhari became a victim under the same Buhari and was arrested, I was the first person to condemn it”.
