Nigerian self-acclaimed activist Martins Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan has apologized to the Nigeria Police Force for putting on a costume similar to a police uniform.
He further stated that he is also rendering an apology for referring to himself as the CSP which is a rank in the police force. He noted that the rank ‘CSP’ he was actually meant was the Chief Social Media Person.
In his Instagram video, he disclosed that he visited the police station on Wednesday for questioning regarding the aforementioned statement he made.
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 would 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.
“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.
“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.”
