We’re Not Aware Of VeryDarkMan’s Missing N180 Million NGO Funds – Police

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has stated that it has no knowledge of or involvement in investigating the alleged theft of ₦180 million from a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) owned by social media personality Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.

KanyiDaily recalls that VeryDarkMan recently claimed that ₦180 million was stolen from his NGO’s account by a hacker, and he managed to recover only ₦20 million.

The activist also revealed that one suspect had been arrested, noting that he was traveling to Jos to retrieve the remaining N160 million with one Officer Joe.

However, his explanation has faced skepticism, with some questioning its credibility.

Speaking on Saturday, FCT Police spokesperson Josephine Adeh clarified that the command has not received any report on the case.

She said, “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.”

Similarly, the Plateau State Police Command also distanced itself from the matter.

DSP Alabo Alfred, the Police Public Relations Officer for Plateau State, said the alleged crime was not reported to them and did not occur within their jurisdiction.

Alfred explained, “The matter is not reported to us. We are not the ones handling the matter because the crime was not committed within our jurisdiction. If he said he is coming to Jos, that does not mean that we are the ones handling the case.

“The crime happened in Abuja. So, he is not coming to Jos to report an incident that did not happen within our jurisdiction. If he reported the case at the Force CID level, it is the Force PRO who can speak about it.

“If he reported the case at the FCT Command level, it would be a different thing. Of course, the Force PPRO can talk about it as well. If he can get police officers from where he reported the case, they can all come together to Jos and do their investigation.

“After that, they can report back to where they came from and continue from there. But we can’t talk on a matter that did not happen within our jurisdiction”, the PPRO said

KanyiDaily recalls that VeryDarkMan launched the Martins Vincent Otse Initiative in October, and the NGO received notable support, including a ₦100 million donation from music producer Don Jazzy.
