Ola Olukoyede, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has raised concerns about the increasing involvement of Nigerian students in internet fraud, stating that "seven out of 10 students today are involved in cybercrimes." He made the statement while calling on the media to play a role in educating Nigerian youth to refrain from engaging in cybercrimes.
Olukoyede's remarks have sparked outrage among the youth, who feel unfairly targeted and stigmatised by his comments. Many have taken to social media to express their frustration and demand clarification. The controversy highlights the delicate balance between addressing the issue of cybercrimes and avoiding the generalisation of an entire demographic.
As discussions unfold, there is a need for a nuanced approach to address the root causes of cybercrime while avoiding the stigmatisation of Nigerian students. The incident underscores the importance of careful communication by public officials when addressing sensitive issues affecting specific groups within society.
