Adeyanju confirmed the incident via Twitter on Friday, describing the arrest as unacceptable. “JUST IN: VDM arrested by the police at GTB. Spoke to them before he was arrested. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime,” he posted.

We will sue GTB and the security agencies responsible for the arrest of VDM if he’s not released with immediate effect.”
