He said, “I just returned from the police station. Officers questioned me about my post where I wore a costume that looked like theirs.”
“I did not mean to impersonate the police at all, and I sincerely apologize to the Nigerian police force and the Inspector General of Police.”
Verydarkman also urged the public to always ask for permission from law enforcement before using anything that resembles their uniform.
He warned that while some individuals might have good intentions, others could misuse such clothing for harmful purposes. “It’s important to get proper approval to avoid any misunderstandings,” he noted.
He concluded his statement by expressing gratitude for his legal support. He thanked his lawyer, @adeyanjudeji, for always being ready to help. This incident reminds us of the importance of respecting law enforcement symbols and the potential consequences of misusing them.
