Deji Adeyanju, the Nigerian lawyer, says the police have detained VeryDarkMan, the social media critic, News360 Nigeria reports.

In a Twitter post on Thursday evening, the lawyer said the activist, born Martins Otse, was detained after honouring the police invitation.

Adeyanju lamented that his client was taken into custody despite cooperating with the police authorities.

“Our client, VDM has been detained after honouring police invitation just like yesterday. VDM who has been consistent in saying the Nigerian Police are our friends even when we all know they are not,” the tweet reads.

The development comes after VeryDarkMan shared a video of himself in a matching suit. In the footage, he said he was heading to the police station in Abuja to respond to the invitation.

Trouble began when VeryDarkMan wore a police uniform and introduced himself as the “chief superintendent of police (CSP) of the online division”.

The police said it would launch an investigation to determine the source of the police gear used and the authority under which the activist acted.

VeryDarkMan would later apologise to the police while emphasizing that he didn’t intend to impersonate the law enforcement agency.

The fitness expert had also revealed that he returned from the police station where he was interrogated based on the controversial footage.

The police have yet to confirm VeryDarkMan’s detention or provide further details.

How can this guy be so foolish as to go posing with a policeman's uniform when he's not a police officer?

Lmao

The power that be is looking for every opportunity to rope him. The moment I saw that video, I knew they will make a case with it. But like he always says, highest them go jail am 6months or 1year and he will be out to continue his good works.

Why arresting him . What about those in the movies and cinemas that wears police camouflage? NPF are just clueless and confused just like their leaders

Uniform wey don cast, Even portable and small doctor is using it as rag in their various home presently.. Police sef dey form steeze ontop their Halloween cloth

It's foolishness anyway. He gambled it. He knew he has friends in the Police, so they would probably look the other way. He wanted to give his cause a great momentum by appearing in Police uniform. That will further strengthen his image and make people fear him more. But nothing go still happen sha, anyway.

Noted.

Just listing to your dumb argument.

A corruption fighter impersonated and even gave himself the rank of CSP and you're here talking nonsense.

After he honored the invitation, went home and make a video and apologized.... You still went to his house and arrest him again..... Naija police
