By Sunday Awosoro| Dubawa Verified The agitation of losing money to CBEX is far from over in Nigeria, as some people have reportedly stormed the digital trading platform’s physical office in Ibadan. But there are more significant issues. Before crashing, CBEX asked investors trying to withdraw their funds to upload two photos for account verification, one showing a clear snapshot of their NIN slip or international passport details and another where they were holding the same ID. DUBAWA confirmed this to be true.
By Sunday Awosoro| Dubawa Verified It has not been a pleasant week for thousands of Nigerians who have again fallen for another money scam. Several persons on various social media platforms have begun to count their losses as CBEX, a popular digital asset trading platform, reportedly wiped out over N1.3 trillion from Nigerian investors’ accounts.

By Lademi Aborisade, Sunday Awosoro| Dubawa Verified Claim: X user shares a video claiming that terrorists have taken over Ondo, forcing residents to flee their homes. Verdict: Misleading! The video depicts residents fleeing their homes after a recent communal clash in Ilobu, Osun State. It has nothing to do with the attack in Ondo State. Nigeria is a diverse country with over 250 ethnic groups with distinct cultures, languages, and traditions.
