The Nigeria Police Force has cautioned content creator, Martins Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan for allegedly donning police uniform in a video shared on his social media platforms.

Reacting to the viral video, the police in a statement released on Saturday on Facebook, also cautioned content creators against unauthorised use of official uniforms and accoutrements.

“The force unequivocally disassociates itself from this unauthorised portrayal and has launched a full investigation to determine the source of the police gear used, as well as the authority under which he acted.

“It is important to remind the public that the unauthorised 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.

“Unauthorised use of these items undermines the values and integrity of the force and will not be tolerated,” the police said.
