Social media critic Martins Ortse, better known as VeryDarkMan, has announced that music producer Don Jazzy contributed N100 million to his NGO’s account.
Late on Wednesday, VDM expressed concerns upon finding an anonymous transfer of N100 million to his NGO’s account, which increased the total balance to N170 million.
In an Instagram video, VeryDarkMan shared his initial apprehension, worrying that the surprise donation might be a setup for accusations of financial impropriety, including possible money laundering.
Addressing his followers he said, “Please Nigerians, come and help me. Someone sent me N100 million into my NGO account. Hope someone is not trying to set me up. I now have N170 million inside my NGO account.”
The activist called on Zenith Bank, which holds the account, to probe the source of the funds and exonerate him from any fraudulent activities. He stressed his lack of involvement in money laundering or fraud.
In a recent Instagram update, VeryDarkMan stated that Don Jazzy had contacted him to confirm his contribution to the cause.
He said, “Guys, yesterday I posted that I received N100m in my account. I did not receive an alert. I just saw that the money had increased from N70m to N170m plus.
“I panicked because I didn’t expect anybody to just send me N100m like that, so I thought it was a glitch or maybe someone wanted to set me up, because people had been sending N50, N100, N200, N500 and so on, and it’s understandable for me to panic.”
After contacting everyone he knew to find out who might have sent the money, he eventually received a message from Don Jazzy.
The message read, “Morning bro. Just saw your post. Na me send N100m to support. I believe in what you are doing and trust you to be as transparent as you have always been.
“We really need that in our country. I wish you all the best with the project and more blessings to you. It’s not easy.”
