The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, has come under fire from Nigerian comedian DeeOne, for allegedly preventing VeryDarkMan from being arrested.
In response to the police’s purported inability to apprehend VeryDarkMan after he declined an invitation to be questioned, DeeOne made this claim in an Instagram video on Tuesday.
DeeOne said that no citizen should be treated differently from others, citing the arrests of Blord and Tacha for allegedly failing to accept police invitations.
DeeOne accused Disu of protecting him from arrest in response to VeryDarkMan’s article regarding the police invitation.
He said: “Fellow Nigerians, our current Inspector-General of Police, Mr Tunji Disu, is becoming a useless man. What is good for a citizen is also good for all citizens.
“Recently, former Big Brother Naija housemate Tacha was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, because she failed to honour the police invitation twice. The police did the right thing to arrest Tacha, but she has been released on bail.
“Everybody in Nigeria knew the time B-Lord was invited by the NPF. According to the story that we heard, they said he did not honour the invitation or he did not come at the time they wanted him to come. And the police arrested him and charged him to court quickly, and the person who reported B-Lord was seen driving behind the van to escort B-Lord to prison.
“Today, VeryDarkMan has been invited by the same NPF twice. He has even come out on his platform to say that he will not honour the invitation. Now, to the IGP, you cannot be in office forever. And the information reaching us is that they are going to change you very soon.

“They have approved for VeryDarkMan to be arrested. The person that is holding the arrest now is IGP Tunji Disu. So, Nigerians, is this man working for Nigerians or working for VeryDarkMan? Because all of a sudden, VeryDarkMan seems to like this man.
“However, Tunji Disu, sir, DeeOne no send you oo. I swear to God, if I see you today, I will greet you as a respectful human being, but I will say it to your face that you’re becoming a very useless IGP. Anything wey you wan do, do am. If you want to arrest DeeOne, you can go ahead because DeeOne doesn’t stop and nobody can bring DeeOne down.
“You see that VeryDarkMan wey you dey defend, wey you dey say make them no touch am, go and ask him about me. I won’t say more than that. I greet you, sir. So, you will be expecting more videos. Sometimes, we can even go a little bit personal. Maybe some of your work wey you never do well or some of the things wey make them wan change you. So, we fit bring them to social media.”
VeryDarkMan had announced that he would not honour the police invitation.
VeryDarkMan was invited after he made a series of allegations against the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood.
