Reaction to Police statement on VDM
Legit.ng has compiled some of the reactions on the police statement on Verydarkman below:
@RealQueenBee__:
“I am looking forward to when you will charge the Bandits that are using your so-called uniform to court. A shameless and most corrupt institution ever known to mankind. Shame on you!”
@Chimaizuobi:
“To be honest, I love what VDM is doing, but he’s not supposed to wear a police uniform without permission. When we shot our movie last year, we had to get our license from Abuja, even though we live in Owerri. There are proper procedures for these things.”
@_nonconformist1:
“You people are not serious.”
@EmekaGift100:
“Nigerian police are targeting the 100 million naira Don Jazzy donated to VDM NGO, nothing more.”
