VeryDarkMan Claims N180m Stolen From NGO Account By Hackers

 

Social media influencer, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has claimed that about ₦180 million was stolen following the hacking of his NGO website.

VDM, who disclosed this in an Instagram video On Friday, said that the funds had been diverted to an unknown account.

He said, “I’ve not been myself these past few days. 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.”

To prevent further breaches, VDM also disclosed that the NGO’s app was temporarily shut down for maintenance. He assured his followers of updates on the recovery efforts.

VDM had in October launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, gathering over ₦30 million in donations within hours.

Music executive Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, was one of his main donors, contributing ₦100 million to the cause.
