Popular critic Verydarkman has alleged that a well-known comedian attempted to funnel N700 million through an NGO to disguise the origin of the funds.
In a post shared online, Verydarkman claimed the comedian, described as usually quiet on social media, was approached with a plan to transfer the large sum into the NGO’s account, with an agreement that a portion would be siphoned off as pay-offs.
Allegation Details
According to VerydarkMan, the arrangement would have seen the NGO receive the N700 million, from which insiders would withdraw portions and distribute kickbacks. He said the comedian was told he would personally receive 10 percent, about ₦70 million, while the rest would be made to “disappear” through the NGO’s books.
VerydarkMan added that he refused to be part of any scheme that would route such a large sum through his organisation, saying he would rather invest in property than allow the money to touch the NGO account.
Netizens’ reactions
The accusation has drawn attention online, but the named comedian has not publicly responded to the claim as of filing. Experts note that allegations of money laundering and illicit fund transfers are serious and, if true, could attract criminal investigation by law enforcement and regulatory agencies. Observers are calling for an official probe to determine the facts and, where necessary, hold responsible parties to account.
No formal complaint or evidence has been presented publicly yet; VerydarkMan’s post remains an allegation.
