18-Year-Old Boy Who Specialises In Hacking Bank Accounts Arrested In Ondo

 

The Ondo State Police Command has arrested 18-year-old, Samson Omisakin, who specialised in hacking bank accounts in the state.

The suspect disclosed that he had been able to steal from bank accounts through stolen sim cards.

Omisakin added that his friends, Monday Isaac and Wanda Ajilogba who he said were into armed robbery supplied him stolen sim cards.

According to the teenage hacker, a total of 18 SIM cards had been given to him by the robbers but only few of the SIM cards were successfully hacked.

The suspect was arrested after stealing N44,000 from a victim’s bank account and paraded at the police headquarters in Akure, the state capital alongside the two robbers.

“When I see my victims now, I will beg them and tell them will not do it again. I feel ashamed when spending and lavishing my victims’ money.

“My mother has stroke and my father is no longer taking care of me. I started with Yahoo and I did it regularly. I studied Computer Engineering where I learn about hacking. I used applications to run victims sim card. I used the SIM to withdraw the cash through POS or used it to buy cards.

“I collected 18 SIMs from them but many of them were not useful while some were useful. The one that brought me here was the one I collected N44,000 from. I took N4000 cash and used the rest to buy goods. In this case, I used somebody’s account and it was tracked to us.”
