VeryDarkMan, a controversial social media critic, posted on Instagram about his efforts to assist comedian Sirbalo in recovering his money. According to VDM, Sirbalo attempted to buy land in Abuja for N60 million but was duped. The suspected land sellers were eventually apprehended after extensive search efforts.
“So, I dey police station this night. Not for myself but because of Sir Balo, the comedian. Sir Balo and his friends bought land from a guy. They saw the land online, went to go and check it, did surveying, and checked everything on the land. They now charged them N60million for the land. They went to the guy’s house and they paid for the land. The guy gave them the documents,” he said.

“A few months later, they went to the land to see if they could start development and discovered another person owned the land. They said ‘let us go back to the person that sold the land to us’. They went to the person’s house and discovered he was no longer there. They discovered the person rented the apartment when he knew Sir Balo wanted to come and pay for the land.
“Finally, they arrested the person after they searched for him.”
“The FCT police command was able to arrest those people. It has been a rollercoaster getting those people. Given the lines they used to communicate with Sirbalo and the rest, they deactivated the lines.
“We were able to get all the suspects. All of them are in our custody. The investigation will prove whether they are a syndicate and whether other people are involved. Because these particular ones that defrauded Sirbalo have been arrested.”
