Two undergraduate students of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Akwa, identified as Ebuka Orumba and Patrick Nwafor, allegedly hacked
into a bank account of a law firm SimmonsCooper Partners and stole eight
million naira (N8miilion). The account was said to belong to the vice
president, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
According to investigations Nwafor and Orumba are
final-year students of environmental science and computer engineering
respectively.
The students were said to have used fraudulent means to
hack into the email of the account manager of the vice president’s law
firm, Tunde Irukera.
They also allegedly sent a mail to UBA PLC branch to one Obuba Fidelia on Thursday, July 2, instructing
the bank to transfer eight million naira from SimmonsCooper’s bank
account to three different bank accounts they opened for the fraud.
The Unizik undergraduates allegedly connived with
a tricycle rider, Artor Kalu, to open a bank account with Zenith bank
to where three million naira (N3,000,000) was transferred using the
false name Engineer Asukwo Okoro.
The remaining amounts were said to have been
transferred to two other unnamed bank accounts.Luck, however, ran out on
the undergraduate students when their alleged gang member, Kalu, went
to the Zenith bank account at Mushin to withdraw the N3,000,000 but he
was intrcepted by detectives from the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS)
following a tip off from the bank.
The police subsequently arrested Kalu and
following his statement, the police arrested Orumba, but Nwafor
escaped.During the investigation the police discovered that Kalu, with
the help of others, obtained a fake driver’s licence which he used to
open the Zenith Bank account.
The Tinsel star was attacked by hoodlums during a traffic jam around 9pm and she has a gruesome scar to show for the attack.
