According to him : “I’ve not been myself these past few days,” Otse shared. “Somebody hacked into the NGO website, and N180 million is missing. Thankfully, we’ve tracked the person, and one suspect has been arrested.

“The account is now on PND (Post No Debit). There’s N20 million left, while N160 million was diverted. We’re heading to Jos to recover the money.”

He went further to disclosed that the NGO’s app has been temporarily shut down for maintenance to prevent further breaches and assured followers that updates on the recovery efforts would follow.
