    Cyber Crime Expert, General Adeka task Govt. To Put An End To Kidnapping, Banditry

    From Leo Nzwanke, Lafia

    Cyber Crime Expert, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Adeka (rtd) , has called on government to do more in the area of security by caging the sponsors of all forms of insecurity in the country.

    By doing this he said will go a long way in tackling insecurity by bringing it to the bearest minimum.

    Adeka disclosed this on Friday while speaking with newsmen during the unveiling of Mosque in Lafia the Nasarawa State Capital.

    The Cyber Crime Expert while speaking on the efforts of security operatives in tackling the activities of bandits, kidnappers and other forms of terrorism, also called for all hands to be on deck especially in security information in order to tackle the situation in the country.

    ” What we are doing we are not fighting the conventional war, we are fighting a terrorist war.

    ” A terrorist war is not a war where the enemies are identified, you will not know them, they will strike and run away.

    ” What I will advice is that intelligence should be the leading light of every security operation.

    ” I will advise those in- charge of security management to make sure that all their operations are intelligent driven so that the collateral will be minimal and the enemies will find it more tough.

    ” Secondly, it is not enough to chase the foot soldiers (criminals) living their sponsors because the foot solidiers need resources and these resources are provided by the sponsors.

    ” So those providing these weapons and supporting to maintain these weapons and ammunition with resources including cash, government should make all efforts to get them identified and cage them. It will be more effective than chasing the criminals while their sponsors are there providing more support

    “if you killed 1000 bandits or terrorists is not good to be as effective as caging 10 sponsors of terrorism” Rtd General Adeka said.

    Adeka has commended the military and other security agencies in combating crime in the country.

    ” The military is doing the best it can, given the limited resources at its disposal supported by other security agencies,” he said.

    The Islamic Scholar has assured of his determination to preach the message of unity, peace and oneness to its followers as the Chief Imam of the new mosque for the overall development of the area, the State and the country at large .

    Alleged Cyber Crime: EFCC Displays Content Of Naira Marley’s iPhone

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has displayed the contents of the phone seized from music artiste, Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley.

    When the defendant’s trial resumed on Wednesday at the Federal High Court in Lagos, the EFCC through the virtual projection of a Compact Disc (CD) with 51,933 pages showed the contents and analysis of the phone.

    The commission did this while leading in evidence, its second witness, Mr Augustine Anosike, a mobile forensic expert.

    Picking up from where he left off on Tuesday, the witness, again reiterated portions of his earlier testimonies and pointed out the corresponding visual spots of those testimonies on the screen of the projected CD.

    For instance, the witness showed visual displays of the credit card numbers, chats, as well as incoming and outgoing Short Message Services (SMS) that were analysed from the defendant’s iPhone.

    After the CD was displayed for about 45 minutes, the prosecutor then asked the witness to confirm two exhibits A and D, which were vital elements of his analysis.

    Exhibit A is the Forensic Report Form, while exhibit D is the iPhone of the defendant.

    Under cross-examination, the defence counsel, Olalekan Ojo, sought permission for the defendant’s iPhone to be kept in the custody of the court rather than for it to continue to remain in the custody of the prosecution.

    He submitted that the court was capable of keeping exhibits, adding that it would make it easier for the defence team to apply for the exhibits if needed.

    The court noted the request.

    The counsel, thereafter, asked the witness if his analysis had also covered a possible number of persons that had used the defendant’s iPhone to which the witness replied that the number of persons could not be ascertained.

    “As an experienced operative, are you aware that a person other than the owner of a phone can have access to the use of that phone?” he queried.

    The witness, in his response, answered, “That will only be possible where the owner grants access.”

    When the witness was asked who supplied him with the password to the iPhone, he told the court that the defendant provided the password to the investigating operatives who consequently, transmitted the same to him for his analysis.

    After watching all the evidence, Justice Nicholas Oweibo adjourned the trial till November 30, as well as December 13 and 14.
