The Committee led by ACP Ogechukwu Agbazue (rtd) disclosed that their mission was to join hands with the EFCC Enugu Zone to stamp out cybercrimes from the South East.
“Due to the increasing rate of yahoo yahoo, the nation is in trouble. We need synergy from all sectors to save Nigeria from impending doom.” Agbazue observed that many not appreciate the job of the EFCC until they become victims.

ACE 11 Oshodi Johnson, Head of the Enugu Zone thanked the team for the visit. “Corruption, especially cybercrimes crimes has evolved.
