Controversial social activist, Martin Otse better known as VeryDarkMan, has revealed that his claim of N180 million being stolen from his non-governmental organization (NGO) account was “entirely fabricated”.
Earlier, the activist lamented that his NGO website was hacked, resulting in the theft of the amount.
He claimed that one of the alleged culprits had been arrested, adding that an officer accompanied him to Jos, the capital of Plateau state, to track down the remaining suspects.
The police in Jos and Abuja earlier said they were unaware of the missing N180 million from VeryDarkMan’s NGO account.
In a recent Instagram post, VeryDarkMan revealed that the claim was merely a ruse to expose the loopholes in the media space.
He expressed disappointment that many people failed to inquire about the details of the alleged theft, instead opting to accuse him of stealing NGO funds.
VeryDarkMan also lambasted the police for weighing in the matter without asking about the details. He questioned why the police commented on the story without conducting proper investigations.
“Do you think if my N180 million is missing, who is going to pay? Zenith Bank. Zenith Bank is going to pay because that is where I keep my money. Everybody started saying stupid things,” he said.
“You people are so excited about bad news. You did not analyze anything. I never said I was traveling with a police officer. I said, ‘Officer Sam’. Did I show you the details of the account?
“The thing did not happen. How can the money be missing when VeryDarkMan is here? You know how much we put in for security. My money is secured.”
