A divisional police officer in the Delta state police command has recounted how a 17-year-old male student hacked into the Whatsapp accounts of some celebrities and sold explicit materials to fellow students.
The Divisional Police Officer of Ugborikoko Division, Uvwie Local Government Area, Temi Agbede-Zuokumor, made the disclosure in an interview with comedian Otaghware Onodjayeke, popularly known as I Go Save.
Agbede-Zuokumor said the case was uncovered after officers conducted a routine check on a student’s phone. She mentioned that when the phone was discovered with the student, the mother initially claimed the device belonged to his sister, but inconsistencies in her explanation led officers to investigate further.
“The woman looked very modest, so I asked her if she was from Deeper Life. She said no. I then asked why her son took a phone to school, and she claimed it belonged to his sister” she said
She added that officers decided to inspect the phone after her suspicions were triggered.
“Something told me to check the phone. When we did, we discovered that everything on the device belonged to the boy,” she said.
According to her, the phone contained over 80 foreign contacts, including Australian numbers, as well as a large volume of explicit materials.
“We saw several foreign numbers, over 80 Australian lines, and the phone was filled with pornographic content,” she said
She further disclosed that the suspect allegedly sold explicit materials to classmates, who reportedly referred to him as “boss.”
“We also saw chats with his classmates asking if he had explicit content to sell. They were calling him ‘boss’ in school,” she added.
Investigations also allegedly showed that the teenager had gained access to WhatsApp accounts belonging to celebrities and used them to solicit money from victims.
“We discovered he had access to WhatsApp accounts of some celebrities, which he used to demand money from unsuspecting victims,” she said
