The incidence of internet related crimes may be reduced if young people are willing to speak to their peers about the damaging effect of such crimes on society.
This assertion was made by Harry Erin, Commander, Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, when he received officials of the EFCC/ NYSC Anti-corruption Community Development Service group comprising corps members posted to Kaduna North and Chikun Local Government Areas, who were at the Command on a familiarization visit to discuss areas of collaboration towards fighting Internet-related fraud among the youth.
The Presidents of the two groups, Suleiman Yaro Suleiman and Jatau Abdulhameed Eneji, in separate remarks, agreed that the fight against internet fraud and other economic crimes cannot be left to the EFCC alone. While restating their unwavering support to the commission, they however solicit for the Commission’s presence at their sensitization events to enhance better understanding of its work and the right messages to pass to the people.
The Corps members also submitted a schedule of programmes to the Head of Public Affairs of the Command, Hajia Zainab Sani Ahmed. She assured them of the support of the Commission in the execution of their anti- corruption sensitization activities.
