Ogun: Police launch ‘Real Odogwu No Dey Hide Face’ campaign to tackle cybercrime

As part of effort to wage war against cybercrime, the Ogun State Police Command, has launched the Nigeria Police Force-National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), tagged “Real Odogwu No Dey Hide Face”.

The move is to safeguard the digital cyber space, an initiative of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu.

The IGP, in a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, was represented at the introduction by the Director NPF-NCCC, CP Ifeanyi Uche Henry.

He said that the Real Odogwu No Dey Hide Face campaign is being introduced across the Commands, to address the borderless nature of cyber threats, including Identity Theft, Romance Scams, Phishing, Business Email Compromise(BEC), among others.

The Command is sensitising the public to remain cyber-aware by installing campaign banners in strategic locations.

Members of the public were advised to treat their digital identities with the same vigilance as their physical valuables, and to safeguard sensitive financial data such as ATM PINS, OTPs, and BVNs; utilise multi-factor authentication; and avoid clicking suspicious links.

The PPRO said the Command remains committed to fostering a secure digital environment for all citizens.
