The Nigeria Police Force invites social media activist Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, to provide evidence supporting his allegation that some police officers at checkpoints collude with kidnappers and bandits.
The Force says it has taken note of his public comments and has formally asked him to present substantiating information. Police also position the matter as a request for verification rather than acceptance of the claims. Outlets report that the invitation is tied specifically to allegations that checkpoint personnel share travellers’ information with criminal groups, which police say must be backed by evidence.
Different reporting emphasizes the same core response: the police publicly challenge the claim and call for proof. While one outlet frames the move as an invitation to submit evidence, another highlights the police “fire back” response and urges VeryDarkMan to detail the basis for his allegations.
