N180 million Theft: Singer Dammy Krane claims VerDarkMan’s NGO website hack was staged

• Dammy Krane posted a video with VeryDarkMan on Instagram that the alleged N180 million hack was a prank
• The singer also revealed that VerDarkMan is renovating a school in Jos
• Netizens reacted to this and mocked celebrities who called out Very Darkman for lacking integrity following the revelation that the hack was a prank.

A surprising twist has emerged in the ongoing controversy surrounding VeryDarkMan's claim that his non-governmental organisation's website was hacked, resulting in the loss of N180 million.

Nigerian musician Oyindamola Johnson Emmanuel, popularly known as Dammy Krane, posted a video on Instagram with VeryDarkMan, revealing that the alleged theft was only a prank. 

According to Dammy Krane, VeryDarkMan is currently renovating a school in Jos, and the results will be shocking compared to what other celebrities had to say about the controversy. 

In the video, Dammy Krane stated: “You are shocked right?” He captioned the video, “It was a prank🌚VDM Is Renovating a School in JOS”

This new development has triggered an uproar online, with some netizens mocking celebrities who had earlier called out VeryDarkMan for lacking integrity. 

However, in another recent video, VeryDarkMan insisted that he is a man of integrity and has already achieved financial stability.

He stated: “Alright, so I have told you that I will show you who I am in this country and it is now. I have integrity and my mother did not raise a thief or a person who takes advantage of people, and as a ‘rattel’ I am not like that. 

“You will all see the result and confess that I have done something. You said I am a thief. If not for the love of the street, I know where I am coming from. And may everyone saying nonsense be damned. Do you know since when I have killed the thirst of money? Money does not move me and you can ask anyone that knows me.”

Many Nigerians speculated that the video was an old one reposted only to shift attention from the truth and manipulate public opinion regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding his alleged N180 million loss.

Netizens react to the Dammy Krane’s revelation 

The controversy has sparked reactions following the revelation that the hack was a prank. Here are some reactions below:

@TWhyspecial commented: “ENKR” 

@Thebeeperfumery commented: “Renovation is part of the N200m. He’s spent N20m on it & buying gifts for the less privileged. The remainder of the N200m (N180m) is the bone of contention here. Don’t let them deceive you. Money must be accounted for.” 

@Lifeinsolace commented: “Someone should check on Blord and others. It is not good to easily gloat over the downfall of your enemy. We are even told to pray for our enemies…… 

What if he was a distraction for the French military base in northern Nigeria? Just at when the topic was beginning to gain momentum, VDM's case sprang up and overshadowed the topic.”
