A foremost security advocacy organisation, the Coalition for Security Awareness and National Stability (CSANS), has strongly condemned what it described as the sustained campaign of defamation and media trial being orchestrated by self-acclaimed human rights activist and social media influencer, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), against the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, AIG Jimoh Moshood.
In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Ibrahim Musa, on Wednesday in Abuja, the group described the repeated attacks on the senior police officer as reckless, malicious and capable of eroding public confidence in Nigeria’s security institutions.
The group said it was deeply concerned that VDM had continued to exploit his social media influence to make grave allegations against a highly respected police officer without allowing the due process of law to take its course.
According to the statement, AIG Moshood has devoted nearly three decades of his life to the service of Nigeria with uncommon dedication, professionalism, sacrifice and integrity, rising through the ranks of the Nigeria Police Force purely on merit and outstanding performance.
“It is unfortunate that an officer of such impeccable record has become the subject of relentless social media attacks designed to malign his reputation and undermine the institution he represents.
