Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has apologised to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for wearing an outfit resembling a police uniform and calling himself a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) in a viral video.
VeryDarkMan, in a video and statement shared on his Instagram account on Wednesday, disclosed that he had recently visited a police station for questioning regarding the video.
He said, ”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.
”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.”

Continuing, VDM advised, ‘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
Reflecting on the incident, he expressed that it had imparted valuable lessons while denying giving himself a rank in the Police.
“I learned a few things. We learn every day. I made my video and said CSP. What I meant was Chief Social Media Person; however, the Nigeria Police has a rank called Chief Superintendent of Police.”
He further urged the public to seek permission from law enforcement agencies before wearing any attire that resembles police uniforms.
“I would like to use this opportunity to urge the general public to always seek permission from the police or other law enforcement agencies before using anything that might resemble their uniform.
Meanwhile, Tribune Online reports that following a viral video by VeryDarkMan in ‘Police uniform’ where he introduced himself as CSP VeryDarkMan and Nigeria’s ‘number one online police officer’, the Force headquarters had condemned the act, vowing to probe the ‘unauthorised use of Police uniform’ by the social media personality.
