Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reported that over N180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account after a hacking incident.
In an Instagram video, Otse explained that the funds were diverted to an unknown account shortly after he launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, which raised significant donations, including a N100 million contribution from music producer Don Jazzy.
He stated that one suspect has been arrested and the account is now on Post No Debit status, with only N20 million remaining.
“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 has temporarily shut down the NGO’s app for maintenance to prevent further breaches and is heading to Jos to recover the missing funds.
