A Chief Magistrate Court in Abuja has granted social media personality VeryDarkMan N2 million bail following his arraignment for unauthorised use of police uniform.
The online personality was arraigned on Friday at Court 1, Chief Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone 6.
According to VeryDarkMan’s lawyer Deji Ayedanju, the court ruled that the sureties are to provide means of identification and depose to affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.
He said the court ordered that the prosecutor should verify the sureties’ addresses while the sureties will also provide their utility bills.
Mr Adeyanju stated that the court also ruled that VeryDarkMan will depose to an affidavit that he will be available at all times during trial.
He said, “Two million, two sureties in like terms. Sureties to deposit international passports, sureties to provide means of Identification. Sureties to depose to affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.
“Prosecutor to verify sureties’ address. Sureties to provide utility bills, defendant to depose to affidavit to be available at all times during trial. Sureties to reside within the Court’s jurisdiction, particularly Abuja municipal.”
Last Saturday, QEDNG reported that the police condemned VeryDarkMan’s unauthorised use of the uniform and launched an investigation into the matter.
In the video that stirred controversy, the social online personality humorously presented himself as a “chief superintendent of police (CSP) of the online division” while dressed in a police uniform.
Following this, he was summoned by the police. On Wednesday night, he released a video on Instagram, apologising for his action.
