Nigerian online critic Vincent Martins Otse aka VeryDarkMan has reportedly lost his NGO website and N180 million to hackers.
Recall that a few months ago, the media personality started an NGO where he got people to donate money for him to carry out projects to help the society. Music mogul Michael Collins Ajereh aka Don Jazzy, singlehandedly donated N100 million to the cause.
On December 27, 2024, VeryDarkMan took to his Instagram page to tell Nigerians that the NGO website was hacked and that N180 million was stolen.
According to VDM, he is one his way to Jos with a policeman, Officer Joe, over the matter and they hope for the best.
The online critic also revealed that one of the hackers had been apprehended and N20 million from the stolen funds has been recovered.
In his words:
“For the past few days, I have not been myself. I am here with Officer Joe and we are going to Jos. The NGO money, somebody hacked into the NGO website and I don’t know how they did it and N180 million is missing. Thank God we have tracked the person and we are on our way to Jos. They have arrested one, that is why I am even saying it now, I am excited and an account has been put on PND, so the account now has N20 million, N160 million has been diverted to another account. We are currently going there to see how I will get the money back. I just want to update you people, I even had to shut down the app and put it on maintenance so that people won’t really see what is going on but let me just come out plain and tell everybody that this is what is going on but hopefully, we would get the money back.”
