EFCC Teaches Students How To Protect Selves From Cybercrime

By Press Unit

Kano Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has today sensitized 36 Criminology and Security Studies students of Bayero University Kano on cyber security and financial crime.

Heads of Cyber Crime Sections, CSE Sadiq Olamide and CSE Musa Bashir Olalekan, lectured the students on the rudiments of cybercrime and cybersecurity, trends, vulnerabilities and how they can protect themselves from becoming victims of cybercrime.

The deputy Zonal Commander, ACE 11 Ufen Sunday Imu who represented the Zonal Commander, charged the students to assist in propagating the anti-corruption message to their fellow students especially in the area of cyber-crime which is mostly being perpetrated by youth.

The EFCC Deputy Commander encouraged Nigerian youth to use their ingenuity to develop Nigeria instead of employing the same to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

Sunday finally urged the students to be good ambassadors of the Commission by sharing the knowledge they have acquired from the programme with their colleagues in school who are not opportune to be part of the exercise.
