The Nigeria Police Force detained a well-known social critic named VeryDarkMan following his compliance with a police invitation. VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the detention, mentioning that this was the second time his client had been invited by the police. The lawyer emphasized that VeryDarkMan has always maintained a positive stance towards the police, despite their contentious relationship.
Efforts to reach the Force Spokesperson for comments were unsuccessful. The police had criticized VeryDarkMan for wearing a police uniform in a video and initiated an investigation into the origins of the attire. In response to the backlash, VeryDarkMan issued an apology and advised the public to obtain proper authorization before donning police uniforms to prevent any misunderstandings or legal issues.
