Police probes video of VDM in its uniform

The police on Saturday condemned the use of its uniforms by a blogger, Mr. Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan, in a video posted on his social media platforms.

The controversial social media personality was seen in the video wearing a police uniform and presented himself as CSP VeryDarkMan, Nigeria’s number one online police officer.

He promised to sanitise the social media space by exposing individuals with unacceptable conduct on the platform.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement in Abuja that the Force has commenced an investigation into the video.

The statement read: “The Force unequivocally disassociates itself from this unauthorized portrayal and has launched a full investigation to determine the source of the Police gear used, as well as the authority under which he acted.

“It is important to remind the public that the unauthorized use of Police uniforms, insignia, or accoutrements constitutes a criminal offense, as stipulated in Section 251 of the Criminal Code Law and Section 133 of the Penal Code Law, and is subject to strict penalties.”
