Ola Olukoyede, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, has a pointed message for Nigerian girls: stay away from sextortion and online blackmail schemes, or face the full weight of the law.
Speaking directly to young women, Olukoyede made clear that acting as an account mule for fraudsters, or using intimate images to extort people online, is not a victimless hustle. "You are not just committing a crime; you are destroying Nigeria's image," he said.
The warning signals that the EFCC is widening its focus beyond the usual suspects. Young women who see cybercrime as a low-risk opportunity are now firmly on the commission's radar, and the message is simple: no one sits on the sidelines of fraud without consequences.
