📺 Nigeria TV Info – ABUJA:

Despite the enactment of the Nigerian Cybercrimes (Prevention, Prohibition, etc.) and Amendment Act of 2024, Nigeria continues to grapple with growing cyber threats. Cyberattacks have led to significant financial losses across key sectors, including banking, telecommunications, and government institutions.

However, even as these threats intensify, critics say the government remains largely indifferent, while law enforcement agencies appear more focused on stifling dissent than strengthening cybersecurity frameworks.

Security operatives have consistently denied misusing the Act, dismissing such concerns as unfounded. But civil society groups and prominent legal experts argue otherwise, suggesting that either the agencies lack proper understanding of the Act or are deliberately misapplying it to target social critics.
