Friday, November 1, 2024 - Singer, DKokopee and
friend of social critic, Very Dark Man, says VDM has been detained by the
police over the unauthorized use of police uniform.
In a now-viral footage, the social media personality wore a police
uniform and introduced himself as a “chief superintendent of police (CSP) of
the Online Division”. He also expressed his commitment to sanitize social media
by exposing online oppressors and vendors.
The Nigeria Police Force later released a statement saying it has
launched an investigation to determine the source of the police gear he used
and the authority under which he acted.
On Wednesday, VDM released a video on his page saying he had just
returned from the police station where he was interrogated based on the
controversial footage. He emphasized that he didn’t intend to impersonate the
police. He also offered his “unreserved apologies” to the law enforcement
agency. VeryDarkMan advised the public to seek permission from law enforcement
agencies before using “attire resembling their uniforms”.
In a video he released on Thursday evening, October 31, Kokopee said VDM
has been detained by the police over the issue and will be arraigned in court
tomorrow.
‘’The Nigeria Police has refused to allow VeryDarkMan go home today.
After the investigation yesterday, he went back there today to clear his name.
The police took him to his house to search for the uniform they claimed he used
to impersonate the police officers. After clearing out all their doubts, they
refused to let him go.
Is this how they choose to pay someone that is trying to help the police
build their image? VDM is the one making us believe the police is our friend
but it is obvious the police is nobodies friend. VDM is going to be spending
the night in police custody with the view that tomorrow they are charging him
to court.''
