Following the backlash, he released a video on Thursday apologizing for using attire resembling the official police uniform.

VeryDarkMan also advised Nigerians to seek proper authorization before wearing police attire to avoid misunderstandings or legal repercussions.

His words: “Back from the police station where I was interrogated based on the post I made wearing a costume that the police claim is similar to theirs.

“I didn’t intend to impersonate the police in anyway and I tender my unreserved apologies to the Nigeria police force and the office of the Inspector General of Police.

“And also I will like to use this medium to tell the general public to always seek permission from the police or other law enforcement agencies before using anything that might look like their uniform.

“You might want to use it for good but there are others that might want to use it for bad. So it’s good to get full approval before using anything that might seem impersonating👍 @nigeriapoliceforce and also shout out to my lawyer @adeyanjudeji who is always ready to stand”.
