Motorist says police freed him after he mentioned VDM’s name

A motorist named Livinus Nwosu claims that Nigerian police in Benin, Edo State, released him after he mentioned the name of social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM). Nwosu shared the incident in a Facebook video, stating that police initially detained him for allegedly violating tinted glass permit regulations but later let him go after he disclosed his connection to VDM. The police spokesperson, Eno Ikoedem, did not respond to attempts to confirm the claim. Nwosu presented his vehicle documents and tinted permit, arguing that the police's actions were unjustified and possibly motivated by extortion. His account highlights ongoing controversy around the police force's enforcement of tinted glass permit policies, which some critics argue amount to financial exploitation.
