VDM to appear in court today over wearing police uniform

Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), is set to appear in court today for wearing police uniforms without authorization.

The FCT Police Command announced on X that it is leading the prosecution. The charges stem from a recent viral video where VeryDarkMan was seen dressed in Nigeria Police Force uniforms “without permission.”

The police stated that his arraignment underscores their commitment to preserving the integrity of the force’s uniforms and preventing unauthorized usage.

The NPF’s statement read, “Martins Otse, is set to appear in court today following allegations of impersonation related to the unauthorised 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.”

NPF had condemned VeryDarkMan in the recently released video, where he described himself as CSP VeryDarkMan and Nigeria’s “number one online police officer”
