Controversial activist Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has claimed that more than N180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account following a hacking incident.
In October, Otse launched the Martins Vincent Osei Initiative, successfully raising over N35 million in donations within hours. Soon after, he announced a generous N100 million contribution from renowned music producer Michael Collins Ajereh, better known as Don Jazzy.
In a video posted on Instagram this past Friday, the activist revealed that the stolen funds had been transferred to an unidentified account.

“Honestly, I’ve not been myself for the past few days,” Otse said. “Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and N180 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 N20 million left, while N160 million was diverted. We’re heading to Jos to recover the money.”
Otse further explained that he had to temporarily shut down the NGO’s app for maintenance in order to prevent additional security breaches and assured that updates on the situation would be provided.
