Speaker 1: Nigeria's self styled online police officer, Martins of shay Aka,
Speaker 1: verydict Man, has been released after meeting an Abuja magistrate
Speaker 1: caught two million nairas brom conditions for using Nigeria Police
Speaker 1: Force uniform for public entertainment or playing to illustrate as
Speaker 1: an activist fighting against wrongdoings online. Nigeria Police Force in
Speaker 1: the suits interpreted the action of Very dark Man as impersonation,
Speaker 1: but Nigeria criminal called law for decades have always permit
Speaker 1: the use of police or any armed forces uniform for
Speaker 1: the purpose of stage play or public entertainment, apparently in
Speaker 1: line with the spirit and intent of press freedom. Press freedom,
Speaker 1: as guaranteed by the Nigeria Constitution, is the right to

Speaker 1: which human rights activists, artists, skate makers and other entertainers
Speaker 1: are long journalist media persulengbu help mountain pressure or press
Speaker 1: on public issues using any dramatic style or force to

Speaker 1: Crans Commission EFCC, have been issued directives asking media personnel
Speaker 1: to always seek approfile before using armed forces or police
Speaker 1: uniforms for stage play or public entertainment, apparently in violation
Speaker 1: of Nigeria laws. The LPF and EFCAC have not been
Speaker 1: able to back any of their directives with the section
Speaker 1: of Nigeria laws that permit the armed forces or police
Speaker 1: to sensor media contents when the media perslem decide to
Speaker 1: use armed forces or police uniform for bona phil scripted message, drama,
Speaker 1: stage play or public entertainment. Very that Man, in the
Speaker 1: recorded video posted on his social media profiles some days
Speaker 1: ago said I AMCSP Very dot Man of the Online Division,
Speaker 1: Nigeria's number one online police. I am not an activist,
Speaker 1: so stop callingly an activist. I am dedicated to sanitizing
Speaker 1: the social media space by using my platform to stand
Speaker 1: against people who abuse power, oppressors and especially my favorite
Speaker 1: customers online vendors. Before now, Very Dutman has always identified
Speaker 1: himself as online police officer pressing against operation and abuse
Speaker 1: of power using online media platforms. Very Dutman was arranged
Speaker 1: on Friday at Court one, Chief Magistrate Court US Zone
Speaker 1: six in the Federal Capital Territory for allegedly impersonating as
Speaker 1: a policeman after he was detained on Thursday when he
Speaker 1: honored police invitations over the issue. He was granted two
Speaker 1: million nyers well in the ruling of the Court in
Speaker 1: charge number c R five hundred and ten twenty and
Speaker 1: twenty fourth Commissioner of Police Rusus Vincent Martins o'sha Aka
Speaker 1: Very Dutman. According to Sahara reporters, the very conditions include
Speaker 1: the provision of two shotase is light terms and shorts
Speaker 1: are to deposit their passports with the courts. The shotase
Speaker 1: must reside within the court's jurisdiction, particularly Abuja Municipal. Shots
Speaker 1: are also to provide means of identification and deposed to
Speaker 1: Alfedelit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.
Speaker 1: The court also ruled that the prosecutor should verify the
Speaker 1: shotings addresses, while the shotings will also provide their utility bills.
Speaker 1: The court also ruled that Very dark Man will depose
Speaker 1: to an Alfedelit that he will be available at all
Speaker 1: times during trial. Earlier on Friday, the Nigeria Police Force said,
Speaker 1: in response to recent developments, VDM cost Rail name is
Speaker 1: mister Martin's O'Shea is said to appear in courts today
Speaker 1: following allegations of impersonation related to the unauthorized use of
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police force uniforms in the viral social media video.
Speaker 1: The Fcity Police Command is at handling the case under
Speaker 1: scoring the Nigeria Police forces commitment to upholding the integrity
Speaker 1: of its symbols and preventing their misuse. Interested persons are
Speaker 1: encouraged to follow up on the proceedings as the case
Speaker 1: on folds. Lawyer to Vary dat Man denj Ameoju had
Speaker 1: stutled on Toldsday that the human rights activist was detened
Speaker 1: after honoring a police invitation. Arneoju said his clients had
Speaker 1: honored a similar invitation on weight. Our client VDM has
Speaker 1: been detered after honoring a police invitation just like yesterday.
Speaker 1: VDM has been consistent in stating that the Nigerian police
Speaker 1: are our friends, even when we all know they are not.
Speaker 1: Very dut Man had tended a public apology to the
Speaker 1: police for using their uniform in a viral video where
Speaker 1: he described himself as a CSP of an online division.
Speaker 1: Very Dutman meant the apology in a video he posted
Speaker 1: on his exit count after he was growed by the
Speaker 1: police on Wednesday for alleged impersonation. The social media Influenzas
Speaker 1: said that he didn't know police permission was required to
Speaker 1: wear police uniforms or other similar ones. He therefore cushioned
Speaker 1: fellow content creators to obtain necessary clearance from law enforcement
Speaker 1: before using similar uniforms for content purposes. Shortly after the
Speaker 1: video went viral on social media, Nigeria Police Force Headquarters
Speaker 1: in a statement condemned the use of its uniforms without
Speaker 1: approval by the social media user. The Nigeria Police Force
Speaker 1: strongly condemned the unauthorized use of official uniforms and accountments
Speaker 1: by an online personality, mister Martin's O'she popularly known as VDM,
Speaker 1: in a video posted on his social media platforms. The
Speaker 1: Force on equivocally disassociates itself from those unauthorized portrayal and
Speaker 1: has launched a full investigation to determine the soul of
Speaker 1: the police get used as well as the authority under
Speaker 1: which he acted. It is important to remind the public
Speaker 1: that the unauthorized use of police uniforms, insignia or a
Speaker 1: culturalize constitutes a criminal offense as stipulated in section two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one of the Criminal Code Law and
Speaker 1: section one hundred and thirty three of the Penal Code
Speaker 1: Law and is subject to strict penalties. While the Nigeria
Speaker 1: Police Force recognizes and supports the creativity of young Nigerians
Speaker 1: in the content creation space, we strongly cautioned against the
Speaker 1: misuse of police uniforms or symbols. Unauthorized use of these
Speaker 1: items on the minds the values and integrity of the
Speaker 1: force and will not be tolerated. Police authority stated in
Speaker 1: a press statement.
Speaker 2: All right, my name is CSP very dark Man of
Speaker 2: the Online Division, the Nigerian number one Online Police. I
Speaker 2: am not a nativist, so stockconomia nativists one out there.
Speaker 2: I am dedicated to sanitizing the social media space by
Speaker 2: using my platform to stand against people that abuse power
Speaker 2: or perss us and especially my favorite customers, the online vendors.
Speaker 2: The online vendors that call their money from customers and
Speaker 2: they will not deliver the goods or deliver whatever thing
Speaker 2: that is agreed upon. I stand up against them one
Speaker 2: undred percent, therefore standing for the victims to collect their
Speaker 2: money back and to stand against general operations in the society. Now,
Speaker 2: this work is not easy because a lot of people
Speaker 2: are really complaining about my approach and the way I
Speaker 2: do it. They say, this boy is very rude, this
Speaker 2: boy is not manner. It's disrespectful. But the truth is,
Speaker 2: you cannot fight for Najulia with respect. That is why
Speaker 2: I tend to be disrespectful, and I swear to God,
Speaker 2: I'm not even going to change. And we disrespect a
Speaker 2: lot of people that are very bad and are bad
Speaker 2: agg in the society one hundred percent. Unlike the regular
Speaker 2: police that we have in the society, we had to
Speaker 2: go through a lot of procedures and protocols. I don't
Speaker 2: do that. The moment to bring an evidence against anybody,
Speaker 2: we stand up and spoil their name. Love spoiling people's name,
Speaker 2: and we spoil your name, and I don't care your
Speaker 2: position in society, and we spoil it so long there's
Speaker 2: and evidence against you. So it's better to be good
Speaker 2: and not fall into my trap. Now, how do I
Speaker 2: do this work? When you bring an evidence to me
Speaker 2: and we post it online, I will not carry those evidence.
Speaker 2: I'll not write a petition with my own money. Don't worry,
Speaker 2: You're not going to pay me one there with my money,
Speaker 2: I take it to the police and I believe that
Speaker 2: in police force it's also an armor and the body
Speaker 2: that's also dedicated to fighting against corruptions. So while they're
Speaker 2: doing their own offline, I am doing my own one
Speaker 2: undred percent online because I have the plasform and like
Speaker 2: I said, I will continue to do this in a
Speaker 2: very very rude manner. Also again because some progeas of Nigeria,
Speaker 2: I also draw and create awareness on a lot of
Speaker 2: issues that we suffolcate the growth of Nigeria at last.
Speaker 2: So I do a lot of things on this media.
Speaker 2: Now to the people that are saying, oh, very dark
Speaker 2: my way, I don't selling noodles before now and they
Speaker 2: come online, we't talk about social uprightness because I say
Speaker 2: my news, make a letter brought selling on, make a
Speaker 2: letter your sister selling, or make a lady. Future generation
Speaker 2: said their own as everybody say, and I say, oh no,
Speaker 2: they say experience is the best teacher. And to other
Speaker 2: people they say, oh, don't too much. Very soon they'll
Speaker 2: set them up. They'll do this, they will do that.
Speaker 2: I always say something, if you come for me, you're
Speaker 2: the victim. If I come for you. You are the vitiam.
Speaker 2: And guess what when I say don't play, you're gonna learn,
Speaker 2: I mean don't play. You're gonna learn, or you will
Speaker 2: learn the hard way. I believe my workie talking is
Speaker 2: ringing in the car. Then gonna know who is calling
Speaker 2: you over and how, over and out. Don't play? All right?
Speaker 2: So I'm back from the policians. Back and forth, back
Speaker 2: and forth. They brought me in based on the post
Speaker 2: that I made where I said I was a CSB
Speaker 2: of the online division. So a lot of discussion now
Speaker 2: that ocation and I found out something you know, we
Speaker 2: learn every day.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: First of all, me, I made my video and I
Speaker 2: said CSP me my own interpretation, what I meant was
Speaker 2: chief social Media Person. However, the Nanderian police have a
Speaker 2: RAM called CSB which means chief Supertendant of Police. And
Speaker 2: also the center the uniform I was wearing is similar
Speaker 2: to the Nandian police. That if at all you want
Speaker 2: to use a uniform like similar to that of the
Speaker 2: Nanderian police, you have to seek permission, which I know
Speaker 2: all this you understand, so it's looked as in yours
Speaker 2: caricature in the Dandran Police which was never my intention.
Speaker 2: So I want to make it form of acologies to
Speaker 2: the Andran police. Of course, like a long caricature. You'll
Speaker 2: be without you. Who is going to protect us?
Speaker 1: Just as one hold me day, bring day, Bring me in.
Speaker 1: The Morggits aware
