Nigerian social media activist, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has claimed that some yet-to-be-identified hackers have stolen over N120 million from his NGO’s account.
Recall that the activist raised over N180 million since October 2024 when he launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative.
VeryDarkMan had announced that music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy sent a N100 million contribution to the account.
However, 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,” he 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.”
He added that he had to shut down the NGO’s app for maintenance to prevent further breaches and promised to provide updates on the situation.
