Very Dark Man confirms recovery of N78m out of money allegedly stolen by hackers from NGO app

A Social media personality, Martins Vincent Otse aka Very Dark Man, has confirmed the recovery of N78 million out of N180 million stolen from his Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) account by hackers.

Very Dark Man shocked many on Friday by posting on his Instagram page that a hacker stole N180 million from the NGO’s account.

He said the NGO’s app had been temporarily removed for maintenance in order to prevent more vulnerabilities and that law enforcement had detained one of the suspects.

In a fresh video shared via his Instagram account on Monday, Very Dark Man said the said some amount has been returned, and the analysis on the NGO website showed that the most threats received on the site were from the United States.

The latest update comes a day after musician Dammy Krane stated that VDM is renovating a school in Jos, Plateau State, and was merely making light of the tale of embezzled money in a picture he posted on his Instagram page on Saturday evening.

‘‘It was a prank. VDM is renovating a school in Jos. Una no expect am abi?!’’ Dammy Krane wrote on his Instagram page.
