The Nigeria Police Force has unveiled a new platform for reporting cybercrime, reinforcing its commitment to tackling digital threats.
The NPF National Cybercrime Centre manages this new portal, which has replaced the previous site.
In a statement on Thursday, May 30, Force spokesperson ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi announced, “The Nigeria Police Force is pleased to inform the general public of the launch of a new, more robust, and secure domain for reporting cybercrime-related offenses as part of our continued commitment to combating cybercrime and enhancing the safety and security of our digital space.”
The new reporting platform can be accessed at [https://nccc.npf.gov.ng/ereport/signin], replacing the old site [https://incb.npf.gov.ng], which should no longer be used.
The statement highlighted that the upgraded domain offers enhanced security to protect user information and is designed to be user-friendly for efficient reporting.
It also features improved tracking and response mechanisms to ensure timely action on reported cases.
The public is urged to utilize this platform to support the fight against cybercrime in Nigeria.
He said, “The upgraded domain includes enhanced security measures to protect user information and ensure confidentiality and is user-friendly for easy and efficient reporting of cybercrime incidents. It also includes improved tracking and response mechanisms to ensure timely and effective action on reported cases.”
Inspector General of Police encourages the public to use this new platform for reporting any cybercrime activities.
Vigilance and prompt reporting can significantly contribute to police efforts in tackling the menace of cybercrime in Nigeria and beyond.
Implementing the Cybercrime Act 2015 has received mixed reactions from various quarters.
The Act aims to provide a unified legal, regulatory, and institutional framework for the prohibition, prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of cybercrimes in Nigeria.
