CHUKA UBAH

A 31 year old professional footballer turned hacker, Dare Oladimeji, has revealed that he has the capacity to hack into any bank account and steal money once he has access to such customer’s phone sim card.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Oladimeji was arrested by the operatives of State Anti-Robbery Squad, Ladipo, Mushin area of Lagos.

The claim may have foreclosed the belief by most Nigerians and mobile phone users all over the globe who usually locked their phones, thereby making it difficult for anyone to have access to information in them particularly their account details. But Oladimeji has revealed that such measures do not prevent him and his likes from gaining access into any bank account if they lay their hands on such phones. Surprisingly, Oladimeji, is a Senior Secondary School Certificate holder.

According to Oladimeji, a footballer, who just returned from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, having concluded his two years contract with Alain FC, said that hacking into bank accounts through phones had nothing to do with being a graduate.
The suspect landed in trouble after some suspected members of his gang as gathered had earlier been arrested and charged to court. He was tracked to Idi-Oro area of Lagos during an investigation into the withdrawal of N200,000 from a victim’s account .

During interrogation, he was asked if he had any connivance with any bank staff. He shook his head and stated rather that he got the necessary details from Google Chrome. He boasted that money could be withdrawn from accounts through stolen sim cards no matter the codes used to prevent one from accessing the phone.

Hear him: “I work on sim cards to get money. When I lay my hands on any sim card, I would slot it into any small phone that is not android. When that is done, I will press a code which brings out the list of banks the owner of the sim card uses. For example, if the person is using GTB, I will proceed with the normal code of *737*100#. If the person has money, we would use it to buy recharge card to confirm how much the owner has and the debit alert that will pop up will reveal the balance. Thereafter, we will transfer the money into donors’ accounts from where we will withdraw the money”.

When asked what happens if phone was locked, he said, “Locking of phones with password does not stop me from hacking into any account as long as I can lay my hands on the sim card. All I need to do is to remove the sim and slot it into a small phone. The only thing that can prevent me from hacking into any account through phone is when the Sim card itself is locked. But most people don’t lock their Sim cards, they only lock their phones. You can only beat my likes to the game if you lock your Sim card because only the owner knows the password”.
He stated that he resorted to doing such illicit deals after he lost the money he brought from Dubai. According to him, “When I came back from Dubai in 2016, I brought N7 million, out of which I gave one Mr. Shola N5 million for a genuine business with NUPENG. Unfortunately, the man died”.
“I decided to venture into this business which is a small version of Yahoo Yahoo because I didn’t want to go into robbery.
At Idi-Oro, there are pickpockets. When they snatch phones from victims, they will throw the Sim cards away. What I do is to go looking for those Sim cards and continue from there. Nobody taught me the skill. I learnt it from Google Chrome. This is just common sense. But I regret my action because I have brought shame to my children”said the father of three.

The suspect as gathered would be charged to Court soon.
