How Two Students Allegedly Steal N8 Million From Yemi Osinbajo's Account.

According to a recent report by National Mirror, policemen working with the Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS) Ikeja are currently looking into an alleged case theft of N8million from Vice Pres­ident Yemi Osibajo’s bank account said to be done by a group of hackers.

It was gathered that two undergraduate students of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka identi­fied as Ebuka Orumba and Patrick Nwafor allegedly hacked into the account of Simmons Cooper Partner, a law firm belonging to Vice President Osibajo and allegedly stole eight million naira (N8miilion) straight out of it.

Investigations show that the suspected culprit, Nwafor is a final year 500level student of Envi­ronmental Science while Orumba is a final year Computer Engineering student.

The students used fraudulent means to hack into the email of the Account man­ager of the VP’s law firm, one Mr. Tunde Irukera, and they allegedly sent a mail to UBA PLC branch to one Obuba Fidelia on July 2nd instructing the bank to transfer eight mil­lion naira from Simmions Cooper Bank account to three different bank ac­counts they opened for the fraud.

The undergraduates allegedly connived with a tricycle rider one Artor Kalu to open a bank ac­count with Zenith bank ac­count number 2086943174 where three million naira (N3,000,000) was trans­ferred to with the false name Engineer Asukwo Okoro.

The remaining amounts were said to have been transferred to two other yet to be name bank accounts.
The undergraduates when their alleged gang member, Mr. Kalu went to the Zenith bank account at Mushin to withdraw the N3,000,000 but was nabbed by detectives from SARS following a tip off from the bank.

The police went ahead to place Kalu in custody fol­lowing his statement. They also arrested Orumba but Nwafor was able to escape.

Police operatives later discovered that Kalu with the help of others, got himself a fake Driver’s license which he used to open the Zenith Bank ac­count.

The police has since charged Orumba and Kalu to court on a 5 count charge on conspiracy, stealing and fraud. The search is still on for Nwafor whom the others claimed to have masterminded the entire operation.
