After flubbing national anthem at police conference, singer apologises

Descushiel, whose real name is Mercy Isoyip, has asked Nigerians and the Nigeria Police Force to forgive her for making mistakes while reciting the national anthem at the Conference for Senior Police Officers in Imo State.

The singer, who wore a police uniform at the event, became a trending topic on Monday after she failed to recite the national anthem correctly at the event and mixed up the words.

Many people online mocked the singer, who they thought was a policewoman because of her dress.

However, in an Instagram video on Tuesday, Descushiel admitted her errors and apologised.

She wrote on her post, “I sincerely apologise for the error I made during the recital of the National Anthem. I know such errors are inexcusable.

“My good people of our country, please accept my apology as well as my assurance that I will be more careful in the future to prevent such incidents from recurring.

“God bless the Nigeria Police Force. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
