The EFCC audit VeryDarkMan NGO funds issue has attracted public attention after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) received a petition requesting a full financial audit of the NGO run by activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan. The petition was submitted at the EFCC office in Ikoyi and has sparked different opinions online.
The petition comes after recent controversies involving VeryDarkMan and his comments about public figures, including singer Davido. VeryDarkMan questioned Davido’s political views after the singer supported his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, in backing President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid. He questioned this support because Davido had previously spoken against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The petitioners say that public figures and activists who demand honesty and accountability from government officials should also be ready to show how their own organisations handle money. They have asked the EFCC to investigate the money received, managed, and spent by VeryDarkMan’s NGO.

Supporters of the audit say that anyone running a charity or advocacy group that receives donations should be open about its finances. They believe checking donation records can help build public trust and prevent the possible misuse of donated money.
The EFCC audit VeryDarkMan NGO funds issue has led to different opinions among social media users, political analysts, and members of the public. Critics say everyone should be held accountable. They believe activists who expose corruption should allow independent audits of their organisations’ finances to show that donations are properly managed.
Some supporters believe the petition is an attempt to harass VeryDarkMan because he often criticises the government. They argue that the action could be aimed at weakening his anti-corruption work and silencing his voice.
The EFCC said it must review the petition before deciding whether to open an investigation. The case has sparked debate about fairness and political pressure, with legal experts calling for a transparent and impartial process.
