We Are Not Aware Of VDM’s Missing ₦180m – FCT Police
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.
Osun Defender reports that Otse in an Instagram video shared on Friday, claimed that ₦180 million had been transferred from the NGO’s account to an unknown account, leaving only ₦20 million
He wrote, “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, some people questioned the credibility of his explanation.
The FCT Police Command spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, on Saturday, 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.”
