The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has expressed concern about the increasing involvement of Nigerian youth, especially students in cybercrime
VerseNews reports that Olukayode while speaking with a delegation from Daar Communication PLC on Monday at EFCC headquarters in Jabi, Abuja said the practice of cybercrime has become a “menace and cankerworm” in society.
He stated that seven out of ten students in Nigeria are now engaged in cybercrimes, emphasizing the need for media enlightenment on the negative consequences of such activities.
He, however, called on the media to design programmes aimed at enlightening youths on the evil of the crimes.
Olukoyede also called for a wider enlightenment of youths across the country on the consequences of internet fraud.
“We are looking towards Daar Communications to enlighten our youths on the evils of cyber crimes. It is worrisome that seven out of ten students today are involved in cyber crimes,” said Olukoyede.
“These are the youths we are preparing to be leaders of tomorrow. The media should not relent in enlightening them on the evils of such criminal practices”
Last month, the anti-graft agency arrested several students while raiding off-campus hostels of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).
Up to 70 individuals were arrested as suspects of fraud-related offences.
