In a swift and stern reaction, the Nigeria Police Force has publicly condemned the social media influencer, Verydarkman, for allegedly misusing official police uniforms in a video shared across his platforms. Nigerian Stories, a popular news outlet, announced the development on its official X handle, revealing that the police described the act as “unauthorized” and a direct violation of the law.
The video, which has sparked widespread reactions on social media, shows Verydarkman dressed in a police uniform, portraying himself as an officer in a way the authorities say is “misleading and dangerous.” According to the police, the misuse of official uniforms not only misrepresents the image of law enforcement but also poses serious risks to public trust and safety.
The police have underscored the legal ramifications of impersonating law enforcement personnel, a charge that could lead to severe penalties under Nigerian law. In their statement, they warned that such actions would not be tolerated, as they could encourage similar unauthorized acts that harm the integrity of the force and could confuse or deceive the public.
The Nigeria Police Force is reportedly considering further action against Verydarkman, reinforcing its commitment to protecting the reputation and authority of law enforcement in Nigeria.
