Popular social media influencer Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), is scheduled to appear in court today, Friday, November 1, to face charges of impersonation.

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) confirmed this in a statement posted on its official Facebook page.

The statement reads, “In response to recent developments, VDM is set to appear in court today following allegations of impersonation related to the unauthorized use of Nigeria Police Force uniforms in a viral social media video.”
