Social critic and media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, will appear in court today.
The Nigeria Police Force stated this on its official Facebook handle, on Friday.
The force said that VDM would appear in court following allegations of impersonation related to the unauthorized use of Nigeria Police Force uniforms in a viral social media video.
In a statement titled: ‘Impersonation: VDM to appear in Court today, FCT Command leading prosecution’, the force said: “In response to recent developments, VDM, whose real name is Mr. Martins Otse, is set to appear in court today following allegations of impersonation related to the unauthorized use of Nigeria Police Force uniforms in a viral social media video.
“The FCT Police Command is actively handling the case, underscoring the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to upholding the integrity of its symbols and preventing their misuse. Interested persons are encouraged to follow up on the proceedings as the case unfolds”.
Recall that VDM in a video post apologized to the force, advising Nigerians to always seek permission before using the forces property.
It has also been reported how VDM was detained by police in Abuja after responding to an invitation from the force on Wednesday.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, said: “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.”
