Controversial social media critic, Martin Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has alleged that over N180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account after it was hacked.
The Eagle Online recalled that VeryDarkMan, in October, launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, raising over N35 million in donations within hours.
In another development, VDM alerted that he received a N100 million contribution from music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy.
However, the activist, in a video shared on Instagram on Friday, raised alarm that the funds were diverted into an unknown account.
He said, “Honestly, I’ve not been myself for the 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.”
