The Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja has issued a formal invitation to social media activist and influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), requesting that he appear before investigators to substantiate allegations he publicly made against Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of Police Moshood Jimoh.
The invitation forms part of an ongoing police investigation into allegations involving the senior police officer, with the FCID seeking to obtain firsthand evidence and testimony from the social media personality whose claims sparked widespread public attention.
FCID Requests Evidence
According to the invitation, the FCID has asked VeryDarkMan to honour the invitation and provide any evidence, documents, recordings or other information in his possession that may assist investigators in establishing the facts surrounding the allegations.
Police investigators are expected to question the activist on the basis of the claims he made publicly and determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support the allegations.
The move signals that the Nigeria Police Force is taking steps to investigate the matter through established legal and investigative procedures.
Investigation Targets Allegations Against AIG Jimoh
The invitation comes as investigators continue to examine allegations made against AIG Moshood Jimoh.
While details of the allegations have attracted significant discussion on social media, the police have not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation or made any findings regarding the claims.
Authorities have indicated that the investigation is intended to establish the facts and ensure that all relevant information is carefully reviewed before any conclusions are reached.
Due Process to Be Observed
The Nigeria Police Force has maintained that investigations involving serving officers, particularly senior-ranking officials, are conducted in accordance with the law and established disciplinary procedures.
By inviting VeryDarkMan to provide supporting evidence, investigators are expected to assess the credibility of the allegations and determine whether further investigative or administrative action is warranted.
The FCID’s invitation does not constitute a finding of guilt against any individual. Rather, it is part of the fact-finding process aimed at ensuring a fair and transparent investigation.
Public Interest in the Case
The allegations against AIG Moshood Jimoh have generated widespread public interest, particularly on social media, where discussions have continued following statements made by VeryDarkMan.
Legal experts have consistently noted that allegations of misconduct require thorough investigation supported by verifiable evidence, while those accused are entitled to the presumption of innocence until any wrongdoing is established through due process.
The FCID’s decision to seek direct testimony from the individual who made the allegations reflects standard investigative practice in cases where public claims require formal verification.
Possible Next Steps
Following VeryDarkMan’s appearance before investigators, the FCID is expected to evaluate any evidence submitted alongside other materials gathered during the investigation.
Depending on the outcome of the inquiry, investigators may invite additional witnesses, obtain further documentary evidence or make recommendations in line with applicable laws and police procedures.
Should the investigation establish grounds for further action, the matter may proceed through the appropriate administrative or legal channels. Conversely, if insufficient evidence is found, investigators may conclude the case in accordance with the law.
Police Reaffirm Commitment to Accountability
The Nigeria Police Force has repeatedly stated its commitment to professionalism, accountability and the rule of law in handling allegations involving its personnel.
The Force has also emphasized that complaints against police officers are subject to established investigative mechanisms designed to ensure fairness to both complainants and officers under investigation.
Authorities have urged members of the public to cooperate with lawful investigations and provide credible evidence where necessary to assist investigators in establishing the facts.
Awaiting Outcome
As of the time of reporting, neither VeryDarkMan nor AIG Moshood Jimoh had publicly responded to the latest invitation from the FCID.
The investigation remains ongoing, and no official findings have been announced.
The outcome of the inquiry is expected to determine the next course of action by the Nigeria Police Force as investigators continue efforts to establish the facts surrounding the allegations.
