COLA platform makes apology, announces service return
Sponsored — In Article

Dear COLA users:

We are very sorry for the problems and losses that the long shutdown of the platform caused for you!

On October 25, 2024, the platform faced a harmful cyber attack. This led to us stopping operations. After 420 days of hard work and technical fixes, we have fully restored all user data with 100% accuracy. Unfortunately, we cannot bring back the old COLA app. We have now taken over the NJ platform. All COLA users can log in to NJ using their original accounts. The NJ app is now safe and stable, and services have officially resumed for COLA users. You can now log in by downloading the app from Google and Apple stores.

The platform promises:

  1. All funds, income, and subsidies in your account are still valid;
  1. To make up for the losses from this shutdown, we will give compensation to your personal account;
  1. You can withdraw your account funds anytime, quickly and safely, ensuring your assets are secure throughout the process.
  1. You will receive 300CC (about 600,000 Naira) as compensation for low transactions to cover the losses during the shutdown.
After this upgrade, COLA has set up many security protections and emergency response systems. We have fixed safety issues and will stop similar problems from happening again.

We apologize again to all users! Thank you for your patience and understanding. In the future, we will repay your trust with better risk control, more stable services, and thoughtful benefits!

COLA Operations Team
