Actress and musician Mercy Isoyip, better known by her stage name Descushiel, has apologised to the Nigerian people and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for misreciting the national song during the Imo State Conference for Senior Police Officers.
When Descushiel mispronounced the words when reciting the national anthem at the conference, she went viral on Monday. Descushiel had donned a police uniform.
Because of her attire, some Nigerians assumed Descushiel was a policewoman, and this led to backlash against her on social media.
On Tuesday, though, Descushiel expressed her regret for her errors in a video posted on her Instagram account.
“Descushiel expressed sincere regret for the mistake he made during the National Anthem recital, acknowledging that such mistakes are unacceptable.”
“Please accept my apologies, my good people of our nation, and my promise that going forward, I will exercise greater caution to avoid similar occurrences.
“May God richly bless the Nigerian Police Force. God bless Nigeria’s Federal Republic.
