Activist and blogger Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has tendered an apology to the Nigeria Police Force for wearing an outfit resembling a police uniform while calling himself CSP, a rank in the police force.

In a video and statement shared on his Instagram account on Wednesday, VeryDarkMan revealed that he had recently visited a police station for questioning regarding the video.

His words: “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.”
