“N180 Million Is Missing,” VeryDarkMan Cries Out

Controversial activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has raised an alarm over the alleged theft of N180 million from the account of his NGO, the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative.

In a video shared on Instagram on Friday, Otse revealed that the funds were siphoned after the NGO’s website was hacked.

The initiative, which launched in October, had raised over N35 million in donations within hours. Shortly after, renowned music producer Don Jazzy contributed an additional N100 million.

“Honestly, I’ve not been myself for the past few days,” Otse said in the video. “Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and N180 million is missing. Thankfully, we’ve tracked the person, and one suspect has been arrested.”

According to Otse, the account has been placed on a Post No Debit (PND) status, with N20 million remaining intact while N160 million was diverted. He further disclosed plans to travel to Jos to recover the stolen funds.

In response to the breach, Otse has temporarily shut down the NGO’s app for maintenance to prevent further vulnerabilities. He assured supporters that updates on the recovery efforts will be provided soon.

The Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, launched to support social justice causes, has gained significant attention since its inception.

The alleged theft has drawn widespread concern among donors and the public alike.
