Social critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has issued an apology to the Nigeria Police Force for donning a police uniform in one of his recent videos.
Earlier in the week, Vanguard reported that the police had
condemned his unauthorized use of the uniform and initiated an investigation.
In the controversial video, VeryDarkMan wore a police
uniform and jokingly introduced himself as a “Chief Superintendent of Police
(CSP) of the Online Division.”
Following the backlash, he released a video on Thursday apologizing for using attire resembling the official police uniform.
VeryDarkMan also advised Nigerians to seek proper
authorization before wearing police attire to avoid misunderstandings or legal
repercussions.
His words: “Back from the police station where I was
interrogated based on the post I made wearing a costume that the police claim
is similar to theirs.
“I didn’t intend to impersonate the police in anyway and I
tender my unreserved apologies to the Nigeria police force and the office of
the Inspector General of Police.
“And also I will like to use this medium to tell the general
public to always seek permission from the police or other law enforcement
agencies before using anything that might look like their uniform.
“You might want to use it for good but there are others that
might want to use it for bad. So it’s good to get full approval before using
anything that might seem impersonating👍 @nigeriapoliceforce
and also shout out to my lawyer @adeyanjudeji who is always ready to stand”.
