The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has unveiled an enhanced platform for reporting cybercrime, reinforcing its commitment to combating digital threats.
The newly upgraded portal, managed by the NPF National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), replaces the old site and is now accessible at [https://nccc.npf.gov.ng/ereport/signin]. The previous site [https://incb.npf.gov.ng] should no longer be used.
In a statement released on Thursday, Force spokesperson ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi highlighted the features of the new platform. “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 statement further noted that the upgraded domain offers enhanced security to protect user information and is designed to be user-friendly for efficient reporting. Additionally, it features improved tracking and response mechanisms to ensure timely action on reported cases.
“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 also includes improved tracking and response mechanisms to ensure timely and effective action on reported cases.”
Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, urged the public to utilize the new platform to aid in the fight against cybercrime in Nigeria. “Vigilance and prompt reporting can significantly contribute to police efforts in tackling the menace of cybercrime in Nigeria, and even beyond,” he emphasized.
The implementation of the Cybercrime Act 2015, which provides a unified legal, regulatory, and institutional framework for the prohibition, prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of cybercrimes in Nigeria, has elicited various reactions. The upgraded platform aims to streamline and strengthen these efforts, ensuring a more secure digital environment for all.
