Plateau State Police Command has distanced itself from the probe into the alleged hacking of VeryDarkMan’s NGO, Martins Vincent Otse Initiative, where N180 million was reportedly stolen.
Speaking on the issue, DSP Alabo Alfred, the Police Public Relations Officer, clarified that the case was neither reported to them nor did it occur within their jurisdiction.
Earlier, VeryDarkMan revealed that hackers drained N180 million from his NGO’s account, adding that one suspect had been apprehended. He also announced plans to travel to Jos to recover the missing money.
According to the PPRO, “The matter is not reported to us. We are not the ones handling the matter because the crime was not committed within our jurisdiction. If he said he is coming to Jos, that does not mean that we are the ones handling the case.
The crime happened in Abuja. So, he is not coming to Jos to report an incident that did not happen within our jurisdiction. If he reported the case at the Force CID level, it is the Force PRO who can speak about it.
If he reported the case at the FCT Command level, it would be a different thing. Of course, the Force PPRO can talk about it as well. If he can get police officers from where he reported the case, they can all come together to Jos and do their investigation.
After that, they can report back to where they came from and continue from there. But we can’t talk on a matter that did not happen within our jurisdiction.”
