My NGO account hacked, N180 million stolen – VeryDarkMan

Social media commentator, Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has claimed that over ₦180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account following a hacking incident.

Otse addressed the incident in an Instagram video On Friday, revealing that the funds had been diverted to an unknown account.

“I’ve not been myself these past few days,” Otse shared. “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 also disclosed that the NGO’s app was temporarily shut down for maintenance to prevent further breaches and assured followers that updates on the recovery efforts would follow.

In October, Otse launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, amassing over ₦35 million in donations within hours. Shortly after, music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, contributed ₦100 million to the cause.
