Olukoyede Cautions Youths against Allure of Ill-gotten Wealth

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has cautioned youths in the country against the allure of ill-gotten wealth, describing it as road to self-destruction.  

He gave the admonition at the sensitisation lecture organised by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC for the new students of the AirForce Institute of Technology, (AFIT), Mando, Kaduna. 

Speaking through CSE NANA Fatima Abubakar of the EFCC’s Public Affairs Department in a lecture titled: “Over view of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission," Olukoyede stated that “hard work and integrity are the pathways to sustainable means of livelihood which should guide future leaders if the country is to overcome the scourge of corruption and make developmental and progress.”

The lecture took the students through an enlightenment journey on the Commission’s mandate, structure, operations as well as answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the EFCC. 

While speaking on the topic, “The Risk of Fraud and Cybercrimes,” CSE Umar Mohammed, Head Cybercrime Section, Kaduna Zonal Directorate explored the nature, red flags and the ills of cyber crimes. He condemned the increasing involvement of youths in cyber crimes and enlightened the new intakes on safety standards against antics of cyber criminals.
