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.
