Police in Abuja has detained social critic and media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, after responding to an invitation from the force on Wednesday.
The critic was summoned for wearing police uniform to create content.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, who disclosed this said VeryDarkMan has consistently believed that “the Nigerian Police are our friends, even though we all know they are not.”
Adeyanju stated, “Our client, VDM, was detained after honoring the police invitation. He has repeatedly advocated that the Nigerian Police are our friends, despite common perceptions otherwise.”
VeryDarkMan had issued an apology to the police for wearing a uniform resembling theirs in a video.
He advised Nigerians to always seek permission before wearing items that may appear to be official police property.
