Social media activist VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse) has shared the account of a businessman from Nepal who alleges he was defrauded of ₦1.6 billion during a business transaction he believed was legitimate after meetings were allegedly held at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters with the reported presence and assurances of a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP). The allegations have not been proven in court, and no official findings have established criminal liability.
Social media activist VeryDarkMan has brought fresh attention to an alleged multi-billion-naira fraud after interviewing a Nepalese businessman who claims he lost ₦1.6 billion in a transaction he believed was backed by Nigerian law enforcement officials.
According to the businessman, his confidence in the deal stemmed from meetings allegedly held inside the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, where he said a serving Chief Superintendent of Police assured him that the transaction was genuine.
During the interview published on VeryDarkMan’s social media platforms, the Nepalese national alleged that he travelled to Nigeria for a business arrangement after being introduced to individuals who presented themselves as legitimate businessmen.
He claimed that several meetings were conducted inside a conference room at the Force Headquarters, where a police officer holding the rank of Chief Superintendent of Police allegedly assured him that the businessman receiving the funds was trustworthy.
According to the interviewee, seeing police officers in uniform and conducting meetings within the police headquarters convinced him that there was no reason to doubt the legitimacy of the transaction.
He alleged that he subsequently transferred a total of ₦1.6 billion, only to later discover that he had been defrauded.
VeryDarkMan described the allegations as deeply troubling, arguing that if proven true, they could undermine investor confidence in Nigeria and raise serious concerns about public trust in government institutions.
The activist urged the relevant authorities to conduct a transparent investigation into the allegations and determine whether any public officials were involved in facilitating the alleged fraud.
As of the time of filing this report, the claims remain allegations made by the interviewee and have not been independently verified by law enforcement or the courts.
At the time this report was filed, the Nigeria Police Force had not issued an official statement responding specifically to the allegations made during the interview.
Similarly, no criminal conviction or judicial finding has established that the alleged fraud occurred as described or that any police officer participated in the alleged scheme. Investigations, if any, have not been publicly concluded.
The allegations have generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians calling for a thorough investigation into the claims. Whether the allegations are substantiated will depend on the outcome of any official inquiry, as authorities have yet to publicly determine the facts surrounding the reported transaction.
