A masked man gave a message in a foreign language! However, the father of one just confused the recipient!

As the Heilbronn police report, the video from the WhatsApp group does not pose any danger.

What understandably caused a great uproar among the parents of a Sontheim kindergarten early in the morning turned out to be a case of mistaken identity after intensive police investigations. A video was uploaded to the parents' WhatsApp group on Friday night in which a masked, dark-skinned man delivered a message in a foreign language.

According to the police's current findings, the video was posted by the father of a child attending kindergarten in Sontheim. He himself cannot be seen in the video. Instead, the video shows the political message of an opposition figure from Togo who is cursing the government there and is therefore masked for purposes of invisibility.

The father, himself Togolese, wanted to send the video to a fellow countryman and mixed up the recipients, so the video ended up in the kindergarten's WhatsApp group. To remedy his mishap, he resigned from the group, which understandably caused further confusion.

The 46-year-old father has been living in Heilbronn since 1999 and has both German and Togolese citizenship. The police took the clarification of the incident very seriously in the morning hours, as it was initially not clear what message emerged from the video.
