Nigerian comedian and social media influencer Aderombi Adedayo Martins, better known as DeeOne, has criticised the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, over the alleged failure to arrest social media activist VeryDarkMan.
DeeOne made the accusation in a video shared on Instagram on Tuesday while reacting to VeryDarkMan’s decision not to appear before the Nigeria Police Force following an invitation for questioning.
The comedian questioned why VeryDarkMan had not been arrested despite publicly stating that he would not honour the police invitation.
He compared the situation with the recent arrests of former Big Brother Naija housemate Tacha and businessman Blord, who were reportedly taken into custody after failing to respond to police invitations.

According to DeeOne, the law should apply equally to everyone, regardless of their status or popularity.
Reacting directly to VeryDarkMan’s post concerning the police invitation, DeeOne alleged that the IGP was preventing the activist from being arrested.
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.”
The controversy follows VeryDarkMan’s announcement that he would not respond to the police invitation.
He was reportedly invited by the police after making a series of allegations against the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood.
