A 28-year-old suspected fraudster, James Nwagalezi, was yesterday, arraigned before a Lagos Magistrate’s Court for allegedly conniving with Okoli Nmesoma, already facing trial, to hack into the mobile app account of Eko Bank Plc and unlawfully withdrew N207 million.

Which kind news be this?? A suspect hacks EcoBank app, was it that of a customer or the bank servers?
How can you hack a bank with charms or jazz?? Does that even make sense?

How does April 26 till date account for several months??

I don't even think banks will like this kind of news in public because it's an embarrassment to them.

See the news source sef, Yeye journalist..

lord

Nigerians are super ordinarily intelligent when it comes to hacking.only if they could channel their intelligence into something positive

We now use charm to hack?

Our babalawo's have become ICT inclined.

.

This is huge

Hacking requires intelligence/brilliance.

Intelligence/brilliance requires Hacking.

Cant they develop Eco Bank in peace again?

Police should hire competent IT personnel to help them explain crime stories because they are just giving bad names to hackers whenever they tag a petty phishing criminal a hacker.
