The acting chairman, Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu has urged the Federal
Government to pay greater attention to cyber crime because of its effect on the
economy of the nation.
EFCC’s spokesman, Mr Wilson
Uwujaren in a statement in Abuja on Thursday quoted the chairman of the
commission to have made the call at a town hall meeting in Gombe.
Magu was represented by Micheal
Wetkast, head of the Gombe office of the commission.
He said that the involvement of
unscrupulous Nigerians in cyber fraud was impacting negatively on the country’s
image globally and undermining the quest for foreign direct investment.
“Every email sent from Nigeria is
being screened before delivery, we are being denied visas to other countries,”
he said.
He, however, expressed optimism
that the commission’s ongoing collaboration with the Federal Bureau for
Investigation (FBI) and other international law enforcement agencies would be
sustained.
