National Anthem: Descushiel apologises to Nigerians, police

Mercy Isoyip, popularly known as Descushiel, a Nigerian actress and singer, has apologised to Nigerians and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for incorrectly reciting the national anthem during the Conference for Senior Police Officers in Imo State.

Descushiel, who dressed up in a police uniform for the event, went viral on Monday after she missed the lyrics while reciting the national anthem.

This drew criticism from some Nigerians on social media, who trolled Descushiel, who was mistaken for a policewoman due to her outfit.
