‘I’m Chief Okoya’s Child,’ VeryDarkMan Taunts EFCC Over Naira Abuse

Controversial social media critic, Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has boldly mocked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an apparent jab at the agency’s selective actions regarding the abuse of Naira notes.

On Tuesday night, VeryDarkMan posted a series of photos on his social media showing himself spraying Naira notes in a club in Jos, Plateau State. In his post, he wrote, “Okoya is my new surname so EFCC no go talk where there is no law there is no crime….. @officialefcc hello how are y’all anyways mad fun at CHILLERS BY NEWYORKER IN JOS.”

This post appears to be a direct reference to the recent controversy involving the Okoya brothers—Raheem and Wahab Okoya, sons of billionaire industrialist Chief Razaq Okoya. The brothers came under fire when a viral video showed them spraying wads of Naira notes in a lavish display while dancing in agbada outfits. The video, which was reportedly meant to promote Raheem’s new song, “Credit Alert,” also featured a uniformed police officer holding the bundles of money as they partied.

The video sparked public outrage, with many questioning if the Okoya brothers, who come from a prominent family, would face any repercussions for flaunting cash in such a manner. While the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) confirmed that the officer in the video had been detained and was undergoing disciplinary action for unethical conduct, the EFCC remained silent on the matter.

This silence has led to widespread criticism of the EFCC, especially after it took legal action against other high-profile individuals, such as the cross-dresser Idris Okuneye (Bobrisky) and celebrity bartender Pascal Okechukwu (Cubana Chief Priest), for similar offences. The Okoya brothers, however, have not faced any charges or public action from the EFCC, sparking claims of selective enforcement.

The controversy continues to grow as many Nigerians question whether the EFCC’s response to such cases is influenced by the status and wealth of the individuals involved. VeryDarkMan’s post seems to challenge the commission, pointing out what he perceives as a double standard.
