Debate about VeryDarkMan's NGO account balance

The screenshot showed that the NGO had raised over N691 million, used over N671 million and was down to a balance of over N19 million.

However, a look at the NGO's website as of Wednesday, June 24, showed the current balance has further decreased to N18.3 million.

Some netizens questioned what VeryDarkMan did with over N600 million, calling for an investigation into how the money was used.

Others defended the internet personality, with some arguing that it could be another stunt from VeryDarkMan. Recall that VeryDarkMan had earlier disclosed that he took a portion of the NGO's money and invested in treasury bills.

According to him, this investment aimed to create a steady stream of income to help cover staff salaries and operational costs for the NGO's newly established call centre.
