Social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), whose real name is Martins Vincent Otse, claimed that singer Terry Apala issued him a ‘Cease and Desist’ letter on April 25, only for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest Apala the very next day. Verydarkman revealed that Terry Apala, whose real name is Terry Alexandar Ejeh, sent him a ‘Cease and Desist’ letter on April 25, 2025. The letter was in response to a prior allegation VDM made, accusing Apala, Wizkid’s associate DJ Tunez, and DJ Osas of being summoned by the EFCC and paying bribes to the agency. Apala had denied these claims, calling them fabricated and damaging to his reputation.

Fast forward to now, and VDM announced that the EFCC arrested Apala just a day after the letter was issued. VDM’s tone in the video suggested a sense of vindication, as if the arrest confirmed his earlier claims. The timing of the arrest raised eyebrows, fueling speculation about the validity of both VDM’s accusations and Apala’s legal response.

This drama didn’t come out of nowhere. According to related web results, the feud began months earlier when Verydarkman made a viral video alleging that Terry Apala, DJ Tunez, and DJ Osas were involved in an EFCC bribery scandal. Apala strongly denied the claims, stating he was out of the country during the alleged incident observing Ramadan and performing in South Africa. He accused VDM of chasing clout and potentially tarnishing the EFCC’s reputation with baseless narratives.

On April 25, 2025, Apala issued a 48-hour ultimatum to VDM, demanding a retraction of the defamatory claims. The ‘Cease and Desist’ letter was part of this legal action. However, VDM’s latest revelation about Apala’s arrest suggests the situation has escalated dramatically.
