Mrs Bai said the Agency has the sole unrestricted access to millions of information around the world that would help tackle online recruitment, trafficking, and exploitation of victims especially children.

She disclosed that “At The Headquarters, NAPTIP has set up a small Cybercrime task team that is dedicated to tackle these online crimes.

“The Agency conducts Joint Investigations with Interpol, DSS, Nigeria Police Force, and other relevant Agencies to tackle targeted cyber-crimes.
