Counter-terrorism: ONSA Directs Enforcement Bodies to Implement Cybercrime Law 

The Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), has directed all law enforcement agencies, regulators, businesses and stakeholders to put in place mechanisms for the full enforcement of the Cybercrimes Prohibition Act.

This is to secure Nigeria’s Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII), counter terrorism and violent extremism, strengthen national security and protect economic interests.

The Head-Strategic Communications, ONSA, Mr Zakari Mijinyawa, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

He said that the directive was part of the concrete steps being taken to prevent the use of social media and other platforms by terrorists and organised criminal groups.

Mijinyawa said that Nigeria had in 2022, joined 66 other countries that signed and ratified the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.

The convention was to enhance international cooperation, provide common platform and procedural tools for efficient and safe cyberspace.

This, he said is pursuant to section 41(2) (a) of the Cybercrime Act 2015 requiring conformity of Nigerian cybercrime and cybersecurity laws and policies with regional and international standards.
