Cybercrime Reporting Platform Has Been Upgraded –  Police

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has launched an advanced platform dedicated to the reporting of cybercrime.

On Thursday, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force spokesperson, announced the introduction of a new, more secure, and user-friendly website for reporting cybercrime-related offenses. Managed by the NPF National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), the updated portal replaces the previous one, offering heightened security and improved user experience.

A fresh way to report cybercrime

The newly unveiled platform, accessible at https://nccc.npf.gov.ng/ereport/signin, marks a significant upgrade over the old site, which users are urged to discontinue. With the introduction of this platform, the NPF aims to make the process of reporting cybercrimes more efficient and secure.

The upgraded domain boasts several enhancements, including better security features to safeguard user information and maintain confidentiality. It is also designed to be more user-friendly, ensuring that the public can report incidents of cybercrime easily and efficiently.

What you should know

One of the notable features of the new platform is its improved tracking and response mechanisms. These enhancements are intended to ensure that reports of cybercrime receive timely and effective attention, which is crucial for swift action and prevention of further incidents.

The Inspector General of Police has called on all citizens to utilize this new resource for reporting any suspected cybercrime activities. The vigilance and prompt reporting by the public are vital in assisting the police to tackle the increasing menace of cybercrime in Nigeria and beyond.

The launch of this platform comes at a time when cybercrime is increasingly impacting various sectors, including sports, where the security of digital assets and information is paramount. It is part of the broader efforts under the Cybercrime Act 2015, which aims to provide a comprehensive legal, regulatory, and institutional framework to combat cybercrime in Nigeria.
