Social media influencer Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has claimed that hackers stole over ₦180 million from his NGO’s account.

In a video posted on Instagram on Friday, Otse explained that the money was moved to an unknown account without authorization.

“I haven’t been myself lately,” Otse admitted. “Someone hacked into the NGO’s website and took ₦180 million. Thankfully, we’ve identified the suspect, and one person has already been arrested.

“The account has been placed on Post No Debit (PND). Out of ₦180 million, ₦20 million is still there, while ₦160 million was transferred. We are now heading to Jos to recover the stolen money.”

Otse also mentioned that the NGO’s app has been temporarily shut down for maintenance to avoid further security issues. He promised to keep supporters updated on the recovery process.

In October, Otse launched his NGO, the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative. It quickly raised over ₦35 million in donations, with music producer Don Jazzy adding ₦100 million to the fund.
