VeryDarkMan Invited by Police Over Checkpoint Allegations

The Nigeria Police Force has invited social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, to provide evidence for allegations he made against police officers during the Nigerian Bar Association’s 66th Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt. Otse appeared as a panelist at the conference on Tuesday, where he raised concerns about the conduct of some police officers stationed at checkpoints on major highways across the country. He alleged that some officers pass information about travellers to kidnappers and bandits, including details about their identities and movements. According to the activist, such actions contribute to the abduction of travellers and the demand for ransom in different parts of Nigeria.

The police invitation is aimed at allowing Otse to substantiate the allegations made during his appearance at the NBA conference. His claims have raised concerns about the conduct of security personnel and the safety of travellers using Nigeria’s major highways. The allegation specifically focuses on the activities of officers at checkpoints and their purported links to criminal elements involved in kidnapping and banditry. The development comes amid continued concerns over insecurity on major roads and the need for stronger accountability among security personnel.
