The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has introduced an improved platform for cybercrime reporting aimed at tackling cybercrime and advancing safety and security on digital platforms.
According to a statement issued by the Force Spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Thursday, the new platform will now be in use in place of the previous one.
“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 offences as part of the continued commitment to combating cybercrime and enhancing the safety and security of our digital space.
“The new reporting platform, managed by the NPF National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), can be accessed at: [nccc.npf.gov.ng/ereport/signin]. This upgraded domain replaces the previous site [incb.npf.gov.ng] which must be discarded,” the statement reads in part.
NPF stated that 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 noted that it also includes improved tracking as well as response mechanisms to ensure timely and effective action on reported cases.
Commenting on the development, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun urged all members of the public to utilize the new platform for reporting any cybercrime activities.
IGP Egbetokun emphasised that vigilance and prompt reporting can significantly contribute to police efforts in tackling the menace of cybercrime in Nigeria and even beyond.
