President Umaru Yar’Adua said on Monday that the threats posed to the nation’s economic investments by cyber crimes were beyond what mere legislations by individual countries could solve.

He argued that online fraud, being a global problem, needed a “global solution” by all countries identifying and applying workable long-time solutions.

Yar’Adua’s position was contained in a message he sent to the opening of the “1st Annual Conference on Cyber Security” in Abuja.

According to Yar’Adua, there is evidence that cyber criminals exploit loopholes in national and regional laws to commit more crimes and escape punishment.

The President also observed that online fraudsters were highly-mobile, moving from countries where there were laws to those without enforceable legislations to “launch attacks on victims with total impunity even in those countries which do not have effective laws in a place like ours.”

let stop deceiving our selves in this country. action speaks louder than just mere talk.
I've been hearing this fight against corruption since i was young, even if some are caught, they would free them at the end of the day.

besides,not yar'adua's regime could put a stop anyway   
We need agile leaders
