Yahoo-yahoo: Senate Approves 7-year Jail Term For Cybercrime And Online Fraud. by ddooskie(m): 7:25am On Oct 25, 2014 |
The Nigerian senate on Thursday prescribed a minimum of seven-years imprisonment as punishment for perpetrators of cyber crimes and online fraud, popularly known as ‘yahoo yahoo’ in Nigeria. It would be recalled that the bill on cyber crimes was sponsored by Senator Adegbenga Kaka, and the decision of the senate on the cybercrime bill was based on the recommendation of the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Human Rights. The bill, tagged: “A Bill for an Act to Provide for the Prohibition, Prevention, Detection, Response, Investigation and Prosecution of Cybercrimes and for Other Related Matters 2014,” seeks to punish the interception of data, system interference, misuse of devices, amongst others. The bill also seeks to punish all kinds of computer- related fraud, computer-related forgery, offences relating to pornography, cyber-stalking and cyber- squatting. It also seeks to promote cyber security, protection of computer systems and networks, electronic communications, data and computer programmes, intellectual property and privacy rights. According to the bill, anyone who commits fraud using a computer system or network with the intention of obtaining computer data, securing access to any programme, commercial or industrial secrets or classified information will upon conviction be sentenced to seven years jail term or a fine of N7 million or both. Also, anyone found guilty of possessing a manipulative device, unauthorised automatic teller machine card, damaging a computer with the intention to defraud, trafficking in any password to defraud customers or financial institutions will be sentenced to seven years imprisonment or pay a N7 million fine. www.today.ng/news/yahoo-yahoo-senate-approves-7-year-jail-term-for-cybercrime-and-online-fraud/ |

7 years is too short. 15years is ok. They should mandate the EFCC, ICPC and the Police to have an online fraud department(strictly for online fraud,even if it's 1k ) and banks to provide details of these scammers once there's enough proof to nail them. Catching these thieves shouldn't be rocket science |
