More than 27 persons have been hospitalized and are currently receiving treatments in various hospitals in Ibadan following the crashing of the digital asset trading platform (CBEX).
The incident happened earlier this week.
Nigerians who invested in it have continued to count their losses after the Ponzi scheme allegedly swept more than N1.3 trillion from their accounts.
One of the victims known as Sherif Latifu, who resides in Ibadan, said that many individuals who lost a lot of money to CBEX have been hospitalised in different hospitals.
He appealed to Governor Seyi Makinde to come to their rescue by subsidising 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 stated.
Per online reports, CBEX has locked its Telegram channels, postponing withdrawals while offering investors the option of $200 for $2,000 verification and $100 for deposits below $1,000.
