The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede has lamented that “seven out of 10 Nigerian students are involved in cybercrimes”.

Olukayode while speaking with a delegation from Daar Communication PLC on Monday at EFCC headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, stated that the rate of Nigerian youth involved in cybercrimes is alarming.

He said the practice of cybercrime has become a “menace and cankerworm” in society, and the crime is so prevalent that “seven out 10 Nigerian students” are involved in it.

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.”
