VeryDarkMan Apologizes For Unauthorized Use Of Police Uniform [Video]

Controversial activist VeryDarkMan, known off social media as Martins Otse, has issued an apology to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for wearing their uniform in a viral video.

VeryDarkMan recently shared a video in which he appeared in a police uniform, introducing himself humorously as a “chief superintendent of police (CSP) of the Online Division.”

In the video, the activist claimed his goal was to clean up social media by calling out online oppressors and vendors.

After the video gained traction, the police launched an investigation to determine where he obtained the uniform and under what authority he wore it.

In a follow-up Instagram video, VeryDarkMan revealed that he had been questioned at a police station about the video.

He clarified that he had no intention of impersonating the police and offered an “unreserved apology” to the force.

The activist also advised the public to seek official permission before using clothing similar to police uniforms.

Sharing the video, he wrote: “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…

“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 and also shout out to my lawyer @adeyanjudeji who is always ready to stand.”
