In a recent video, Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), announced that his NGO account had been hacked, resulting in the loss of N180 million. The audacious activist shared that the hack occurred through the NGO’s website and that he was on his way to Jos with a police officer, having tracked one of the hackers.
VDM assured the public that progress had been made, with one of the perpetrators already arrested. However, the news has sparked a wave of reactions from Nigerians online. While some empathize with VDM, others are skeptical, questioning the authenticity of his claims.
Critics have pointed out that VDM recently purchased a new car, leading to suspicions about the timing of the alleged hack. Comments on social media range from supportive to mocking, with some users accusing VDM of using the situation as a cover-up for misappropriated funds.
Despite the mixed reactions, VDM remains determined to investigate the matter thoroughly and bring the culprits to justice. This incident highlights the challenges faced by NGOs in safeguarding their funds and the importance of transparency in their operations.
