VeryDarkMan, the social media critic, has regained freedom after meeting his bail condition.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) had arraigned the activist
for alleged impersonation.
Following his arraignment on Friday, VeryDarkMan was granted
bail in the sum of N2 million with two sureties, each required to post an
equivalent amount.
The court also ordered the fitness expert to deposit his
international passports and any other means of identification.
VeryDarkMan’s arraignment came after he shared a video where
he appeared in a police uniform, a move the law enforcement agency condemned as
unauthorised.
The social media celebrity also introduced himself as the
“chief superintendent of police (CSP) of the online division”.
The police said it would launch an investigation to
determine the source of the police gear used and the authority under which the
activist acted.
VeryDarkMan would later apologise to the police and explain
that he did not intend to impersonate the law enforcement agency.
“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,” he had said.
“I will like to use the 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.”
