Stop Sending Your Nude Pictures to anyone on the Internet- DSS Warns Nigerians

Category: Nigeria National News

The FCT Command of Directorate of State Services, (DSS) has advised Nigerians to desist from sending their sensitive pictures to anyone on the Internet, saying that fraudsters have devised a new means of using the same pictures to blackmail women and then extort huge sums of money from them.

Abubakar Bubuche who is the director of the command gave the advise while parading two suspected fraudsters at the command yesterday January 13th.


He said unsuspecting members of the society send their sensitive photos to these fraudsters who are mostly ICT professionals. The fraudsters then use computer animation to strip their victims. He said the fraudsters then ask their victims to pay some money or have their naked photo uploaded on any of the social media platforms.

A complaint from one of the residents in Abuja led to the arrest of the two men paraded yesterday.


During the parade of the suspects, Bubuche said: “This is to inform the general public about the activities of a criminal syndicates’ style of operation include among others, the use of computer animation to strip their victims and put their nude pictures on facebook and other social media platform.

“The gang calls up their potential victims and orders them to pay certain amount of money to a given account numbers or have their personal pictures edited and posted nude on the internet,”he said

Bubuche said several complaints prompted the Service to swing into action which eventually led to the arrest of two people in connection with the internet fraud.

He said the suspects, 35 and 22 years respectively, were arrested in Maiduguri by operatives from the Command.

“The public may wish to note that this syndicate has diverse membership with various professional skills, especially in the ICT,”he said.

Babuche called on FCT residents to be wary of fraudsters and promptly report such cases and suspected persons to the security agencies.

He reiterated the Service’s resolved to discharge its duties with every sense of responsibility and commitment.
