Popular skit maker Chukwuemeka Emmanuel Ejekwu better known as Sabinus, trends online after getting called out by Nigerians for his alleged involvement with a Crypto company.
In a petition submitted to the Nigerian anti-graft agency, EFCC, there were calls that Sabinus’ should be arrested for luring people to invest their money with Cloud AI Mining Limited.
In some skits from last year and early this year, Sabinus was seen advertising the firm on his platform.
AI Mining crashed, absconds with Nigerian’s money
However, it is gathered now that the firm has crashed and carted away the finances of thousands of Nigerians who invested their money in the platform.
In a bid to gain insight into the issue, Legit.ng reached out to Sabinus and his management, Mike Premium, who revealed that they only got into a deal with AI Mining after they had presented several government papers to prove their legality.
Mike Premuim said;
“We got in a deal with them initially, but this was after they presented several government documents to prove their legality. But the moment we discovered that they were trying to defraud Nigerians we cancelled our deal with them.”
Premium further noted;
“We are not involved in the recent defrauding round that they recently perpetuated. It was after their concert in Lagos, in which Iyanya, T.I Blaze and Bella Shmurda performed that they took people’s money and ran away.”
See Sabinus’ public notice disassociating himself from the Ponzi scheme
We are hereby disassociating ourselves from the crypto outfit “AI MINING”. We got into deal with them when they presented documents from several government parastatals.
Now, we’ve found out that they’re involved in racketeering schemes and they are a crypto outfit scamming good and well citizens of Nigeria off their hard-earned money.
Henceforth, we will no longer have anything to do with the crypto outfit nor any business whatsoever.
