The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has stated that
it is not aware of, nor investigating, the alleged disappearance of ₦180
million from the account of a Non-Governmental Organisation owned by social
media commentator Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
In an Instagram video shared on Friday, Otse claimed that
₦180 million had been transferred from the NGO’s account to an unknown account,
leaving only ₦20 million.
“I’ve not been myself these past few days.
“Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and ₦180 million is
missing. Thankfully, we’ve tracked the person, and one suspect has been
arrested.
“The account is now on PND (Post No Debit). There’s ₦20
million left, while ₦160 million was diverted. We’re heading to Jos to recover
the money.”
However, his claims have sparked scepticism, with many
questioning the credibility of his explanation.
When contacted on Saturday, the FCT Police Command
spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, clarified that the command was not involved in
the matter.
Adeh stated, “The FCT Police Command is not aware of any
case involving VDM’s missing funds and is not conducting any investigation into
it. The individual in question should be contacted to clarify where the matter
was reported, as there is no record of such a case with the FCT Police
Command.”
Efforts to reach the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, for comment, were unsuccessful, as calls to his line went unanswered.
He also had not responded to a message sent to him regarding
the matter at the time of filing this report.
