Two Nigerians, Three Others Held For Hacking Bank Account In India

The Surat Crime Branch  of India has arrested a gang of five members, including two Nigerian nationals, for allegedly hacking the bank account of a builder and transferring Rs 1.71 crore through net banking.

The accused are identified as Raphael Yinka (38) and Kelvin Ozombe (38). Ozombe and Yinka are Nigerian nationals who reside in Mumbai.


Others are ONevil Shukla, a resident of Rajkot, Rakesh Malaviya from Katargam, and Imran Kazi from Mumbai.

The builder complained to the police, alleging that Rs 1.71 crore was fraudulently transferred from his bank account on July 26 and July 27, 2020, Indian Express reports.

While investigating the crime, the police found out that of the total amount, Rs 18.20 lakh, was transferred to two bank accounts belonging to Vikash Solanki from Surat.

When the police questioned Solanki a couple of days ago, he told them that he saw an advertisement in a local daily which claimed that a person could earn while working from home. 

He contacted the phone number mentioned in the advertisement, Solanki claimed.

The person on the other side identified himself as Mohit Parmar, who told Solanki to open two bank accounts in ICICI and provide all the details to him.

Solanki did as he was told, police said. Parmar then handed over Solanki’s ATM cards, passbooks and other bank details to Imran Kazi. 

Police have also interrogated Parmar along with Solanki.

Imran then handed over everything to Nevil Shukla and his aide Rakesh Malaviya. 

The five members divided Rs 18.20 lakh among themselves.

Police have recovered ten mobile phones and five ATM cards from the accused. 

After carrying out Covid-19 test, the accused were arrested by Crime Branch officials on Wednesday afternoon.

Police inspector of Surat crime branch, A K Chauhan said, “The five members who have been arrested told us that Rs 1.71 crore that they stole from the Surat builder’s account had been transferred to 11 other bank accounts. Of this, we have already got details of Rs 18.20 lakh. 

“The gang members used to target unemployed youths and lure them to work from home and earn money. Vikash Solanki is one of them.”

The inspector added, “Imran, Nevil and Rakesh provide bank account details to the Nigerian nationals in which the fraud money is transferred. 

“We have not pressed any charge against Solanki and Parmar yet, as their role in the gang has not been established yet.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
