Nigerian comedian Deeone has disputed claims made by social media critic Martins Otse, better known as Verydarkman, that N180 million was stolen from his NGO account. In a recent statement, Deeone challenged the validity of Verydarkman’s allegations, which have sparked significant controversy across social media platforms.
The claims first emerged on Friday, December 27, when Verydarkman shared a post alleging that his NGO account had been hacked, leading to the theft of the substantial sum. This statement immediately caught the attention of social media users, triggering a heated debate about the credibility of the story and the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime.
However, in a surprising twist just a few days later, Nigerian singer Dammy Krane stepped forward to reveal that the incident was a hoax. Krane clarified that the entire situation was, in fact, a prank, meant to deceive the public. This revelation further muddied the waters, leaving many questioning the true nature of the claims made by Verydarkman.
In response to the unfolding drama, Deeone took to his own social media account to voice his skepticism. According to Deeone, after conducting his own investigation, he found no evidence to support Verydarkman’s claim that N180 million was missing from the NGO account. He suggested that the story was fabricated and urged Nigerians to remain cautious about the misleading information.
Deeone’s message was not just a dismissal of Verydarkman’s claims; it also included a personal concern for the social media critic’s well-being. He expressed worry over what he described as “unusual behavior” from Verydarkman. “Check on Verydarkman. Something is happening to him; that boy has changed,” Deeone said, urging people to take notice of his recent actions.
The comedian further remarked, “Verydarkman wey I know no go come outside they prank Nigerians say them don thief one money…” In this statement, Deeone emphasized that the Verydarkman he was familiar with would not engage in such deceptive behavior, suggesting that something might be off with him.
