Somebody hacked into my NGO website – VDM

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that VeryDarkMan, on Friday, December 27, claimed that his NGO’s website was hacked. This allegedly led to a sum of ₦180 million being transferred from the NGO’s account to an unknown account, leaving only ₦20 million.

He, however, said one suspect has been tracked and arrested, and the investigation continues.

However, it is unclear who is helping VDM with the investigation, as Adeh said the FCT police are not involved in the matter.

“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,” The Punch quoted the spokesperson as saying.
