The Director-General of the Department of State Services, Oluwatosin Ajayi, on Thursday called for stronger judicial and public support for the prosecution of cybercrime cases, saying the conviction of offenders would serve as a deterrent to others.
Ajayi made the appeal in Abuja at the public presentation of Electronic Evidence (Second Edition), A Compendium of Cases on Electronic Evidence, Volume 2 (2020–2025), and the presentation of the Justice Alaba Omolaye-Ajileye Educational Foundation for Indigent Students.
He said security agencies had deliberately identified some cybercrime cases capable of sending strong signals to would-be offenders, including matters involving alleged online attacks against public officials.
Although he declined to comment on specific cases pending before the courts, Ajayi maintained that society would only change when offenders were held accountable under the law.
