The Zonal Head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
in Gombe State, Michael Wetkas, has lamented the increasing level
of cybercrime in the country.
According to him, the problem is affecting the country’s
image.
Wetkas, who stated this during a town hall meeting organised by
the EFCC, said computer fraud had also been endangering Nigeria’s
foreign policy and programmes.
He said, “Cybercrime has become a trend in the country and it is
causing a very big problem for Nigeria and Nigerians travelling or
accessing services in foreign countries.
“Every email sent from Nigeria is being screened before it is
delivered; we are being denied visas to other countries.”
He stressed that the anti-corruption body’s collaboration with
the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be sustained towards
addressing the menace.
The Missioner, Jama’atu Nas’rul Islam, Khadi Usman Liman,
stressed the importance of being God-fearing, obedient to the rule
of law and collaboration with the EFCC as cardinal principles in
the fight against corruption.
