Activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has criticised Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, for keeping mute over the arrest of controversial social media critic, Verydarkman, despite mounting public outcry and protests.
Adeyanju, in a post shared on X, accused the renowned human rights lawyer of not speaking out against VDM’s detention, despite his history of defending civil liberties.
“Our revered leader and mentor, Femi Falana SAN yet to condemn the arrest of VDM. Interesting times indeed!” Adeyanju wrote.
The arrest of VDM has sparked widespread reactions across the country, particularly on social media, where several celebrities, influencers, and activists have called for his immediate release.
Some supporters have also taken to the streets of Abuja in protest.
Drawing comparisons with past incidents under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, Adeyanju recalled how he had spoken out for a critic who had once incited attacks against him.
“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,” he added.
VDM’s continued detention has remained a trending issue, with supporters accusing the authorities of using state power to silence dissenting voices.
