Social critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has apologized to the Nigeria Police Force for wearing a police uniform in one of his recent videos.
DAILY POST recalls that the police had condemned his unauthorized use of the uniform and initiated an investigation.
In the controversial video, VeryDarkMan was seen wearing a police uniform and introduced himself as a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, of the Online Division.
Amid the backlash, the social media critic released a video on Thursday apologizing for using attire resembling the official police uniform.
He also advised Nigerians to seek proper authorization before wearing police attire to avoid misunderstandings or legal repercussions.
“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 any way and I tender my unreserved apologies to the Nigeria police force and the office of the Inspector General of Police.
“Also I would 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,” he said.
