VDM links roaming cattle to money laundering by govt officials

Social media commentator VeryDarkMan, also known as Martins Vincent Otse, has accused Nigerian government officials of using roaming cattle as a method for money laundering. During his speech at the 2026 Nigerian Bar Association's Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt, VDM claimed that some officials are involved in this practice due to the general public's unawareness of the method used to divert funds.

He explained that the cattle business allows officials to conceal and misappropriate government resources. VDM specified that a single cow can be sold for approximately N2 million, and a single Aboki man with 500 cows could amount to a billion naira. He further stated that the stolen funds from government officials are invested in the cow business.

VDM emphasized that the government does not permit ranching to keep the Fulani in one place, as it is an investment for them.
