Usman Muktar, the Ilorin zonal commander of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has decried the high rate of cybercrime among youths and enjoined parents and stakeholder to discourage the youths from internet fraud.
Muktar, who disclosed that the agency had witnessed an increasing number of arrests of Nigerian youths in cyber crime in recent times, charged parents to ask their children questions about sources of their wealth.
Muktar said, “When your children, who are in schools stop asking you money for upkeep or driving expensive cars, parents should ask questions.
“Unfortunately, some parents support these youth in internet fraud. They say it’s oyinbo money. How does that turn to be your money?”
Continuing, he said, “Corruption among elected political office holders is also a cause for concern. People should ask questions about projects and quality of work/projects. It would make them sit up.
