The Nigeria Police Force, on Thursday evening, detained controversial social critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
According to his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, in a post on X, Verydarkman was detained after honoring a police invitation on Thursday.
His post read, “Our client, VDM, has been detained after honoring a police invitation just like yesterday. VDM has been consistent in stating that the Nigerian Police are our friends, even when we all know they are not.”
Recall that Verydarkman had apologized to the Nigeria Police Force for donning a police uniform in one of his recent videos.
In the controversial video, VeryDarkMan wore a police uniform and jokingly introduced himself as a “Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) of the Online Division.”
Following the backlash that trailed his action, he released a video on Thursday apologizing for using attire resembling the official police uniform.
VeryDarkMan also advised Nigerians to seek proper authorization before wearing police attire to avoid misunderstandings or legal repercussions.
