- Verydarkman, visibly crushed and overwhelmed with despair, has opened up about the devastating theft of a substantial portion of the funds he painstakingly raised.
- After managing to gather over ₦200 million for his NGO’s critical mission, the philanthropist revealed that a major part of the money was stolen from the organization’s account.
- He detailed his plans to work closely with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement agencies to trace the culprits and retrieve the funds.
Nigerian activist and humanitarian Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), has painfully taken to social media to disclose a devastating setback in his ongoing mission to transform lives.
In a shocking announcement, he revealed that his NGO account, which had recently amassed over ₦200 million in donations for his noble cause, was hacked, and a staggering ₦160 million stolen in what he described as a move beyond his comprehension.
This heart-wrenching revelation comes just weeks after Verydarkman shared his ambitious plans to build schools for underprivileged children who lack access to basic education.
His vision captured the hearts of many, including celebrities, who rallied behind him, contributing generously to the fund. The NGO account became a beacon of hope, symbolizing the promise of a brighter future for countless children.
In a video shared on his official Facebook page on December 27, a visibly distraught VDM recounted the chilling moment he discovered the breach.
Despite the overwhelming sense of loss, he declared that he would not rest until the stolen funds are recovered.
True to his word, Verydarkman shared that he has already launched a full-scale investigation into the cyber heist. In the video, he was seen with a security operative assigned to the case. He disclosed that the duo were en route to Jos, a critical location in the ongoing hunt for the suspected perpetrators.
VDM also revealed that before making this public announcement, he had already taken measures to secure the account, including shutting down the app in hopes of resolving the issue quietly. However, circumstances forced him to update his supporters, as the situation demanded urgent transparency.
