The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has stated that it is not investigating claims by online personality Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), regarding the alleged theft of N180 million from his non-governmental organization (NGO).
On Friday, reports emerged that VDM had alleged N180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account following a hacking incident.
In October, Otse launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, quickly raising over N35 million in donations within hours. Shortly after, he announced receiving a N100 million contribution from renowned music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy.
Following the alleged breach, Otse explained that he had to suspend the NGO’s app for maintenance to prevent further hacking attempts. He assured supporters that updates would be provided on the matter.
VDM claimed in a video that he had reported the incident to the police and was traveling to Jos, where one of the alleged hackers had been identified.
However, FCT Police Command spokesperson Josephine Adeh clarified that the command is not involved in the investigation. She stated, “The FCT Police Command has no information regarding any missing funds involving VDM, nor is there any ongoing investigation into the matter. The individual concerned should be contacted directly for details on where the case was reported, as we have no record of such a case with our command.”
