"Our client, VDM has been detained after honouring police invitation just like yesterday. VDM who has been consistent in saying the Nigerian Police are our friends even when we all know they are not."

Why police detained VeryDarkMan

Recall that the police strongly denounced VeryDarkMan's (VDM) unauthorized use of their uniform in his recent video. In the clip, VDM donned a police uniform and humorously referred to himself as "Chief Superintendent of Police of the Online Division."

According to the force, an investigation has been launched to uncover the source of the attire and address the improper usage. This move aims to maintain the integrity and dignity of the police force. A police statement emphasized that wearing the uniform without authorization is a serious offence and undermines the professionalism of law enforcement.
