Cyber crime in South East assumes frightening dimension, EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it is worried over the frightening dimension which cyber crime has assumed in the country, especially the South East.

“To think that these criminals are those who will in future take up the responsibility of leading this country must certainly send shivers down the spine of any right thinking Nigerian,” he said. Imam called on Nigerian youths to toe the path of honesty, adding that anybody convicted of cybercrime would live with such stigma for the rest of their lives.“I want to appeal to parents to take up their God-given responsibilities of monitoring their children or wards. In the South East, the case of internet or cybercrime is very alarming,” he said.

He said that such schemes dealt in cash with returns made in either cash, or electrical appliances or even food items.
