Journal Title: Journal of Computing and Management Studies (JCMS) - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper has endeavored to loot at the concept of cybercrime in terms of what it is and what it is not. As individual countries are making efforts to curb the menace of cybercrime, there are also global efforts aimed at addressing the problem. Cybercrime has been a challenge to the technological development in Nigeria and other nations on earth. The perpetrators of the crime are referring to “yahoo-yahoo boys” in Nigeria, and they make use of the internet to defraud the unexpected victims in foreign transactions mostly in thousands and million dollars. Therefore, the concept of crime, cybercrimes and the tremendous challenges of cybercrimes generally were intensively discussed. The paper recommends that the fight against cybercrime in Nigeria requires more efforts by the government to educate all agencies that are a concern with security on the knowledge of ICT, as a basic knowledge to track down the cyber criminals despite their intelligence. The government needs to collaborate with the public or citizen to report any crime act in the society to the law enforcement agencies, and the identifies of the persons report the criminal activity should be treated with confidentiality. Therefore, people should serve as a watch dog because the criminals are living with the people in the society.
