The Nigeria Police National Cybercrime Centre (NPF–NCCC) on Saturday in Abuja held a one-day Cybercrime Awareness Campaign, aimed at empowering Nigerians with the knowledge and tools to stay safe in the digital space.
Representing the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), DIG Sadiq Abubakar, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to protecting citizens from cyber threats and ensuring a secure online environment for all.
In his remarks, the Director of NPF–NCCC, CP Uche Ifeanyi Henry, lauded partners and stakeholders for their support, stressing that the fight against cybercrime requires collective responsibility.
“Today’s digital era demands that all Nigerians are not just users but also guardians of their own cybersecurity,” he said.
