Federal Government Expresses Concern About The Increase In Cyber-slavery

On Sunday, the federal government sent out a stern caution to citizens regarding the widespread problem of cyber-slavery. This modern type of human trafficking primarily targets young individuals in the area.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by its spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa, conveyed grave apprehension regarding the growing prevalence of Nigerian youths being deceived into leaving the country and coerced into participating in cybercrime activities under deplorable circumstances.

Per the Ministry’s statement, a significant number of victims, including minors, are lured in with promises of lucrative employment opportunities, specifically in the field of cryptocurrency. Once they leave their home country, they are forced into what is described as complex fraudulent schemes and confined under duress in facilities referred to as “419 cyber-scam factories.”

According to the statement, they are made to carry out thousands of deceitful communications via email, text, and phone in order to scam people all over the world.
