N180m Not Missing – Verydarkman Confesses to Fabricating Claim
Controversial Social media activist, Matins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has admitted that his recent claim of N180 million being stolen from his non-governmental organization (NGO) account was entirely fabricated.
Last Friday, VeryDarkMan alleged that his NGO website had been hacked, resulting in the theft of N180 million. He also claimed that one of the alleged culprits had been arrested and that a police officer accompanied him to Jos to track down the remaining suspects.
However, the police in Jos and Abuja denied knowledge of the alleged theft. In a recent Instagram post, VeryDarkMan revealed that the claim was a ruse to expose 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 criticized the police for commenting on the matter 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.”
