Report said not fewer than 27 persons have been in hospital for unwellness arising from the crash of a digital digital asset trading platform, known as CBEX in Oyo State.
A total sum of N1.3tr belonging to CBEX subscribers were wiped of⁶f from the investors’ accounts by the Ponzi scheme operators.
This comes as CBEX, operating without legal approval from the Nigeria Securities Commission, crashed on Monday with the money in their investors’ wallets vanished.
The digital platform also locked its Telegram channels and postponed withdrawals while offering investors the option of $200 for $2,000 verification and $100 for deposits below $1,000.
The development had sparked condemnations from Nigerians on X with some landing in hospitals.
A victim, Sherif Latifu, who resides in Ibadan said that many who lost money to the crash of the digital platform have now been hospitalised at various hospitals in the town, calling on Governor Seyi Makinde to help them to subsidise the hospital bills.
“Many hospitals in Ibadan are now admitting victims of CBEX fraud. Over 27 people that I know have been admitted. This is a major crisis in Ibadan and the governor should come to our rescue by subsidising the hospital bills for many,” he said.
