Heads of INTERPOL National Central Bureaus (NCBs) from across West Africa have paid a working visit to the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) in Abuja as part of activities marking the 11th Annual General Congress of Heads of INTERPOL NCBs in the region.
The visit highlighted the growing commitment among West African countries to strengthen collaboration in combating cybercrime and other emerging security threats through enhanced intelligence sharing and technological innovation.
Leading the delegation, Assistant Inspector-General of Police and Head of NCB Abuja, Olaolu Adegbite, explained that the NPF-NCCC evolved from a unit within NCB Abuja into a full-fledged national centre dedicated to tackling cybercrime across Nigeria.
He encouraged delegates to examine the technologies and operational tools deployed by the Centre, noting that lessons learned could be adapted to improve cybercrime-fighting capabilities in their respective countries.
Welcoming the delegation on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, the Director of the NPF-NCCC, Akaninyene Ezima, described the Centre as a hub of “endless possibilities” and a leading institution in Nigeria’s efforts to combat cyber-enabled crimes.
