Controversial online critic, Verydarkman, has sparked heated reactions across social media after alleging that a well-known Nigerian comedian tried to use his non-governmental organisation (NGO) to launder a staggering ₦700 million.
In a viral video circulating online, Verydarkman claimed the unnamed comedian — described as “quiet and rarely active on social media” — approached him with an offer to route the funds through his NGO’s account.
According to the critic, the comedian’s associates proposed that the money would first be wired to the NGO, after which portions would be discreetly withdrawn and redistributed. In return, he was reportedly offered a 10% cut, amounting to ₦70 million, if he agreed to facilitate the transaction.
“A popular comedian, this comedian dey very quiet, you no go see am for social media. E say them wan wire ₦700M to your NGO account. You go carry some money comot, nobody go know. You go give us our money, take your 10%,” Verydarkman narrated in the video.
He further disclosed that he rejected the offer, insisting he would not allow any questionable funds to pass through his NGO.
“I tell am say anything wey make ₦700 million touch this NGO account, I no go dey find land again. Na building I go buy,” he added, stressing his refusal to be part of any illicit deal.
The allegation has since dominated online discussions, with Nigerians trying to uncover the identity of the comedian. As of press time, the accused comedian has not publicly responded, and no official petition or investigation has been confirmed by the EFCC.
Analysts say if substantiated, the claims could constitute a case of money laundering, which attracts serious legal consequences under Nigerian financial laws. Observers are urging anti-graft agencies to investigate the matter thoroughly to ensure transparency and accountability.
