A concerned Nigerian has taken a bold stand on social media by withdrawing all his funds from GTBank in protest of the arrest of popular social media personality, VeryDarkMan (VDM).
Posting via X (formerly known as Twitter), the man condemned the bank for its alleged involvement in VDM’s detention and issued a stern warning, saying the influencer must be released immediately or the bank should leave the country.
Reports indicate that VeryDarkMan was picked up by the police at a GTBank branch in Abuja after accompanying his mother to lodge a complaint about unauthorized deductions from her account, despite no pending loans.
In a video shared online, VDM’s brother recounted how officers apprehended him inside the banking hall, leaving their mother distressed and in tears.
Reacting to the development, the protesting customer tweeted:
“Just moved all my money out of GTBank. Arresting VDM was one of their greatest mistakes. #FreeVDM or get out of Nigeria.”

The tweet quickly gained traction, sparking conversations across social media platforms. As of now, both GTBank and the Nigeria Police Force have remained silent on the matter.

@Iam_jahbwai: “Moving money to another bank controlled by the same CBN is a total waste. Take the money out and invest it into something instead but moving it to another bank na the same corporation hahaha.”
@omobadebayo02: “Gtbank is so useless. Person send me 10k yesterday, them comot #400 immediately! Lai payan funmi.”
@friday_ibezim: “You are a staff or a petty trader that’s why you won’t understand why they reacted the way they did, a brand is like a child that you nurtured and raised with love you can’t tolerate any attack on her no matter how little it may seem.”
@magicfingers07: “Nigerians and clout you think moving funds between banks is that easy. You think banking with Nigeria banks you’re doing them a favor. They’re the ones doing you favors by helping you keep your money. Their money don’t come from your savings account. Operate a business account”
