Rabiu implored all Muslim youths to improve their communities and shy away from crimes that could destroy their future.

She said: “The essence of the youth camp is to bring Muslim youths together and teach them the way of God. We are training them so that they can know the positive use of ICT and shun the negative way.

“We know how youths now engage in cybercrimes and we did not want Muslim youths to do the same. That is why it became imperative to organise such events to help educate them.
