The NGO, according to VeryDarkMan, aims to focus on community development and the improvement of public schools. His initial announcement, made through a video on his Instagram account, raised concerns about the large deposit, prompting him to call for an investigation by Zenith Bank.
“@zenithbankplc, please investigate my NGO account. I don’t know what is going on, hope I’m not being set up… I AM NOT INTO MONEY LAUNDERING, I DO NOT DO FRAUD (FOR THE RECORD). Nigerians, bear me witness, I don’t know what’s up with the account,” VeryDarkMan posted.
However, in a follow-up video on Thursday, the social media figure confirmed that Don Jazzy had reached out to inform him that he was responsible for the generous contribution.
He explained, “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 reaching out to everyone he knew in an attempt to identify the source of the funds, he eventually received a message from Don Jazzy, revealing the true origin of the donation.
