Obi Cubana wasn’t known by a lot of people in the past. In fact some confuse him with Cubana Chief Priest, or wonder if one was working for the other that they both have Cubana in their names.

But all that changed from the day he started the burial of his mother in Anambra State about months ago.

Before the burial, Obi had a quiet life online but soon after the burial, he turned a star on social media and gained over 1.2 million followers on his Instagram page in less than 5 days.

Till date not many can say how he made his money and started life, but he owns a clubbing business in Abuja. The EFCC believes he’s a money laundering agent but he insisted he’s not.

Back to that mega burial which made Obi Cubana and his community the most talked-about topic in Nigeria and how it went down…

The Unusual Burial Ceremony

Obi Cubana’s mom died in November 2020 but her burial didn’t hold until July 2021. The rich son wanted to give his mother the biggest burial that will be the talk of the country and that took him over 7 months to plan.

He successfully made his mother’s burial a unique one as the ceremony was held for 7 days. Merriment started early with lots of people, including celebrities showing up to offer their condolences and show support for the young billionaire. Some say he spent heavily for the burial, others say it was his associates who spent the most fund. Whatever the case, it was a mega ceremony.

A Big Party With Big Trends

The ceremony was so big that over 100 cows were slaughtered for the celebration. A trailer-load container of expensive drinks was also used to make sure guests had a blast.

Things that happened at the burial made Obi Cubana trend number 1 & 2 on Google search on the 15th of July with over 100 thousand search each on both positions. Oba his hometown the next day became the second most searched place in Nigeria on the internet.

The Memory

Obi Cubana loved his mother so much that he wanted to have a lasting memory of her hanging around his heart. In the quest for this, the young man spent over 55 million Naira on a diamond necklace where he encrusted his mom’s face on the pendant with real diamonds as shown in the photo below.

Troubles That Came After The Burial

Few months later, Obi Cubana was arrested by the EFCC over allegations of money laundering and tax evasion. He slept in EFCC cell for days before he was later released.

Shortly after, a tragedy occurred at his night club when a lady mysteriously lost her life on the premises.

Obi Cubana is now known by all and sundry in Nigeria and beyond. He is said to be trying to live quietly as before but things are not the same anymore for his brand.

‘Chiamaka Agim May have revealed her PIN’- IT Specialist Shola Akinwale

Published

on

 

Over the week, one Miss Chiamaka Agim went viral on social media, calling out Zenith Bank after a fraudulent unauthorized transfer was carried out from her account where a tune of four million Naira was siphoned on the 9th of January 2023. In other to sway public sympathy, Chiamaka resorted to all kinds of threats saying she will commit suicide if her money is not returned to her account. After recounting her experience on how the incident occurred via her post on social media, Shola Akinwale, a time-tested Information Technology personality and former bank employee, took interest in the case and launched a private investigation into what might her transpired leading to an unauthorized transfer.

After his private investigation, Shola found out that the said amount could not have left Chiamaka’s account without authorization via a token which must have been sent to her mobile phone. He further stated that; her card pin, expiry date and other information on it might have been compromised. Maybe her phone must have been stolen for the person who carried out the fraud to have successfully transferred the money into another account. “The theft was a coordinated one I must tell you. She must have revealed her information to a close ally who carried out the transaction, or she is not saying the truth about what happened to either her ATM card or her mobile phone. She might have revealed some information to those close to her who carried out such theft. On the other hand, her card might have been compromised maybe she had fallen victim to some fraudulent POS operator who has cloned her card. From my investigation, I gathered that it’s not her first time using such means to transfer money using an e-token. No one can authorize the transfer without her access to the mobile phone where the token was or One Time Password OTP must have been inserted to complete the transaction. The funny aspect is that the money was transferred three times into a different account. It means the e-token was generated three times. So something is wrong somewhere.

According to section 3,4,6, Cardholders users of CBN guidelines on the operation of electronic payment channels in Nigeria issued in June 2020A card holder/ user shall;

Protect the Payment card, mobile device and pin with due care.
Notify the issuer immediately the pin is compromised.

iii. notify the issuer immediately about stolen, damaged, lost or destroyed cards and mobile phones.

 

Section 3.4.6.5 stated further that; The cardholder shall be held liable for fraud committed with his card arising from the misuse of his pin or debit card.”

 

Zenith Bank is not at fault. The fault is coming from Chiamaka who was careless with her information or her phone. It’s nearly possible for such a huge amount to move without authorization from the owner of the account. So Chiamaka should think deeply and get anyone who might be a suspect around her. She did not guard her information jealously”

 

 

 

On the other hand, sympathizers on social media have also called on Zenith bank to make their investigation and reveal what really happened in the said fraud. Zenith bank quickly swung into action by calling for an in-house investigation. According to an internal memo on the investigation carried out by the bank, it was recorded that; Chiamaka authorized the transfer. She authorized a transfer of 3,715,000, 222,900 and 102,000 via an e-token assigned with serial numbers to the transfers to various accounts in different banks. From investigation, it was gathered that she used the e-token to change the authentication mode from token to Mobile pin on the 21st of November 2021. The Information was also used to enrol a Zenith Bank Mobile Banking app on the 6th of December 2021 on an iPhone 11 pro-Max at exactly 11:25.06 pm. It was gathered that she had authorized many transactions with the E-token and four-digit pin using the mobile app severally and she never complained of any lagging from the bank before the said disputed transaction was carried out. “The transaction was consummated by the device iPhone 11 pro-Max on the 9th of January 2023. If you claim the transaction was not authorized by you is true. It means someone had unrestricted access to your device.’ It was further gathered that when she reported the incident, the e-token was disabled and the fraudulent transfer was escalated to the beneficiary bank which is UBA and Access Bank. UBA claimed the beneficiary account from their end had a good profile and does not depict fraud while Access Bank was able to salvage 800 thousand from the beneficiary account as they await a court order to be able to repatriate the salvaged funds back to Chiamaka’s account.

 

It was also stated in the investigation that; Chiamaka did not immediately block the account on noticing the fraudulent transfer by using the emergency *966*911#code to block other unauthorized transfers. She also did not call the open 24 hours daily call centre for help. If she had done that, they would have taken swift action by reversing the transaction but she didn’t reach out to the bank for such assistance.
