VeryDarkMan Apologizes to Police After Wearing Police Uniform
Activist Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has issued an apology to the Nigeria Police Force following backlash over a recent video where he appeared in what looked like a police uniform.
In the video, Otse introduced himself as a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) from a fictitious “Online Division,” which stirred up reactions online and prompted a swift response from the police.
The Nigeria Police Force reacted by denouncing Otse’s attire, which they argued was unauthorized and disrespectful, and announced an investigation into the matter.
They highlighted concerns about the misuse of official symbols, even if intended for harmless purposes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining respect for law enforcement identity.
In response, VeryDarkMan released an apology video on Thursday, explaining that he hadn’t intended to impersonate a police officer.
He acknowledged that the costume he wore bore a strong resemblance to the official uniform, leading to misunderstandings.
He disclosed that he had been to the police station, where officers questioned him about the video.
He said he understood their concerns and issued a sincere apology to the police force, especially to the office of the Inspector General of Police.
Reflecting on his experience, Otse took the opportunity to caution his followers and Nigerians in general about the potential consequences of wearing attire that resembles official uniforms.
He advised anyone considering it to obtain prior authorization from law enforcement agencies to avoid possible legal issues.
He noted that while some might have innocent intentions, others might misuse similar attire for malicious purposes, potentially jeopardizing public safety.
Popular Nigerian singer, Terry G, expresses discontent as his songs were not added to the recently released list of Top 50 Best Afrobeats of All Time by the popular music magazine, Billboard.
The singer took to social media and commented, “TERRY G robbed,” emphasizing the fact that he could have made it on the list but was ignored by the magazine.
Fans then reacted and shared their thoughts on whether he was truly meant to be there or if the list is very much accurate.
Nigerian Influencer, Do2dtun, calls out Nigerians abroad for discouraging others in the country from relocating.
The influencer took to social media and stated that Nigerians abroad should stop with the advice. He noted that even if they complain about relocating, they have made no step to come back to Nigeria.
“If you japa’d, stop advising people on why they should not come over. If you haven’t moved back to Nigeria; you still live there, please shut up. You are not qualified to discourage people who want to follow the same path. Keep your advice to yourself. If it’s too hard, come back. Let others try.”

Media Personality Radiogad Says Pedestrians, “Not Just Drivers, at Fault in Dangote Accidents”
Media Personality, Radiogad, reacts to the viral controversy of Dangote trucks and victims, sharing that the public is misdirecting their anger.
It can be noted that there has been a mass report of people being involved in accidents with Dangote trucks, which has attracted a lot of attention.
However, Radiogad shared his thoughts and noted that many people are only blaming the truck drivers and not the victims for their lack of use of the pedestrian bridge.
“Everybody is pouring out their frustration on Dangote, but they won’t blame those crossing the road carelessly. A sensible person will always look left and right before crossing.”
Citizens online then reacted and expressed their disagreement with his feedback.
