The Nigeria Police Force is set to commenced investigations into the actions of Martins Otse, popularly known as (Very Dark Man – VDM) for unlawfully putting on the Police uniform in viral video he posted on his social media platforms and in circulation as it berated and condemned the illegal use of its uniforms by the content creators. 

According to the statement posted on the Facebook account of the Nigeria Police Force, it unequivocally disassociates itself from the unauthorized portrayal and immediately launched a full investigation to determine the source of the Police gear used, as well as the authority under which he Martins Otse (VDM) acted. 

The Nigeria Police Force however reminded the public that the unauthorized use of Police uniforms, insignia, or accoutrements constitutes a criminal offense, as stipulated in Section 251 of the Criminal Code Law and Section 133 of the Penal Code Law, and is subject to strict penalties.

While the Nigeria Police Force recognizes and supports the creativity of young Nigerians in the content creation space, we strongly caution against the misuse of Police uniforms or symbols. Unauthorized use of these items undermines the values and integrity of the Force and will not be tolerated.
