CITIZENS COMPASS— Popular social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, on Thursday, said that he was ready to honour the invitation by the Nigeria Police Force.
He, however, requested the Force to charge him to court.
Citizens Compass reported that VeryDarkMan was invited following his allegation that some security personnel aid kidnapping and banditry in the country.
Otse said that he would honour the Police invitation but would not submit his evidence to the Force, insisting that he would rather present the evidence in court.
The Police had invited the activist to provide evidence backing his allegation that officers manning checkpoints identify wealthy travellers and pass information about them to kidnappers to facilitate their abduction.
VeryDarkMan reacted to the Police invitation in a video posted on his Instagram page saying his lawyers were ready to defend him in court.
According to VeryDarkMan: I’m not going to be giving the police my evidence. Why would I do that? I would be charged to court, and I would turn down the evidence in court.
So when I get to your office, you charge me to court. I can go to court on that same day. My lawyers are on ground.
It is the police people that aid insecurity. It is the military men that benefit from insecurity. That’s why it can never stop.
How much is your budget to battle insecurity? How much is your budget? Go and look at your budget and tell me why we still have bandits and terrorists kidnapping people.
But like I said, why would I want to give you my evidence? I wouldn’t do that. Who would take you to court? You understand? When you’re ready, I’m ready. Face the love, don’t play.
I’m proud of myself that right in their faces I said what I had to say and to tell them that the insecurity going on in Nigeria is aided by them. I stand by my words.
There is no welfare for the Nigerian police. If you want Nigeria’s security to be tightened, you have to take care of our policemen. Take care of them.
“For the police, I’m very, very ready for you guys. 100 per cent. I’m ready to show you that you people aid insecurity. You people aid banditry and terrorism in this country.
Let’s meet in court. The evidence will be tendered there.
