ONLINE SCAM: POLICE APPREHENDS SUSPECTS INVOLVED IN SEXTORTION.
As IGP Cautions Citizens Against Suspicious Online Activities.
The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Center (NPF-NCCC) has recently arrested four suspects in connection with an alleged case of Sextortion and Romance scam. The suspects, Abodunrin Rasheed 'm', Abodunrin Tunde 'm', and Abodunrin Rokeeb 'm', were apprehended following a report via the NPF-NCCC E-Reporting portal and an intelligence report from the Center.
Investigation revealed that the suspects met a Croatian national on a dating app and claimed to be a woman. Their continuous chats progressed to Instagram and WhatsApp leading to an intimate relationship. However, the Croatian was deceived into sending nude pictures of himself through the dating app. The suspects subsequently conspired and pressured him to pay ransom or have his pictures sent to his family and friends.
The operatives of the NPF-NCCC conducted a due investigation, following the obtained information from the report, which led to the apprehension of the suspects and the recovery of the following exhibits related to the crime. The recovered exhibits include six iPhones, one Techno phone, one Samsung phone, and a Lexus car.
Further investigations revealed that the suspects have previously engaged in numerous similar cybercriminal activities, both collectively and individually, defrauding and extorting numerous victims globally. The proceeds of these crimes were primarily received through gift cards like the iTunes gift cards, steam gift cards etc. The suspects will be charged in court upon completion of the investigations.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun PhD. NPM., hereby urges Nigerians to be wary of suspicious online activities of scammers and other cybercriminals, and also sends a strong warning to all individuals and groups involved in all sorts of cybercrime. The Nigeria Police Force will not relent in its fight against all sorts of crime and criminality. The IGP further reiterates the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to dominating Nigerian cyberspace and taking strict action against individuals or groups attempting to compromise national peace and security. The IGP assures Nigerians of his dedication to bolstering national security and tackling all forms of crime in every sector.
Furthermore, citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activities through the e-reporting portal of the NPF-NCCC: http://nccc.npf.gov.ng/ereport/signin to aid in the timely identification and apprehension of cybercriminals.

PRESIDENT TINUBU RECEIVES EDO GOV-ELECT, TASKS HIM ON DEVELOPMENT
President Bola Tinubu has called on the Edo State governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to prioritise the development of his state while assuring him of the full support of the Federal Government and the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF).
President Tinubu advised on Thursday in Abuja at a meeting with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress party, where the Edo governor-elect and the deputy governor-elect, Rep. Dennis Idahosa, presented their certificates of return.
President Tinubu emphasised the importance of good governance and delivering results to the people of Edo State.
‘’Governor-elect, you can now face the task of development. We are here to work with you. You have seen the progressive governors of APC. They are truly progressive. Work with them. Learn the ropes, and I believe you are up to the task,'' he said.
Acknowledging the challenges of democracy, particularly in emerging economies like Nigeria, the President added, ''You have earned the victory. Democracy is difficult, particularly in emerging democracies and economies like ours.
''If you hear complaints from places like America, you know how difficult it is to navigate democracy. But it remains the best form of government. ''
The President congratulated Senator Okpebholo and his deputy and described them as a ''good symbol of people ordained by God to work together.''
''You started as rivals and ended us as partners. You are a symbol of good understanding in politics; the man at our party's helm has been through it before.
''In Kano, he was a front runner, became a second runner, and became a deputy before he eventually became a governor,'' he said.
President Tinubu acknowledged the role played by former Edo state governor, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, the progressive governors and the APC leadership in the successful outcome of the gubernatorial election in Edo.
''I saw Adams Oshiomhole radiating in joy… sincerely the governors showed up in Edo, they impressed me. They defended the party. They worked hard for the party,'' he remarked.
President Tinubu also commended INEC and the security agencies for ensuring a peaceful and organised election, with no reports of violence or disturbances.
''I must thank the security agencies. There was no bloodshed, no riot, people voted and went back to their houses in peace, and the fears dissipated instantly, '' he said.
The President urged the party leadership and membership to remain united and focused on achieving the Renewed Hope Agenda.
''Never mind the noise makers. I do a lot of statistical sampling and results. When you hear politicians saying ‘all politics is local’, you must respect that notion.
''When you see the stability in the Edo North senatorial district, we see a man that won the Central senatorial district and a candidate who has won a seat in the south senatorial district; we did a match- which turned out to be a winning match,'' he said.
President Tinubu also commented on the heavy downpour on Election Day in Edo and the electorate's commitment to voting in the rain without using an umbrella.
''It is a very punching illustration,'' the President said, referring to remarks made by the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Ganduje, about the election-day rains in Edo.
In his remarks, Senator Abdullahi Ganduje, the party's national chairman, commended the leadership and support of the President, the governors, and all stakeholders.
''On the day of the election, there was an exciting scenario: it was raining heavily, yet people came out to vote without using an umbrella. Your Excellency, the people were convinced that our party is the party to be voted for, and we won the election, '' he said.
The APC National chairman noted that the party’s next focus is securing victories in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Ondo and Anambra states.
''The election in Anambra is part of our programme, ' Political de-marginalization of Southeast geopolitical zone.’
''Having only two states in the Southeast as APC is too small for us. We need more states from the Southeast geo-political zone,'' he said.
