VDM RAISES ALARM OVER ALLEGED ‘N180M STOLEN FROM HIS NGO ACCOUNT’
Controversial activist Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has alleged that over N180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account after it was hacked.
In October, Otse launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, raising over N35 million in donations within hours. Shortly after, he announced receiving a N100 million contribution from music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy.
In a video shared on Instagram on Friday, the activist revealed that the funds were diverted into an unknown account.
“Honestly, I’ve not been myself for the past few days,” Otse said. “Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and N180 million is missing. Thankfully, we’ve tracked the person, and one suspect has been arrested.
“The account is now on PND (Post No Debit). There’s N20 million left, while N160 million was diverted. We’re heading to Jos to recover the money.”
Otse further explained that he had to shut down the NGO’s app for maintenance to prevent further breaches and promised to provide updates on the situation.
