A 23-year-old graduate of College of
Education, Ilaro, Ogun State, who has been
on wanted list of the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), for notoriety
on hacking into websites of government
agencies and sale of fake recruitment forms
has been arrested.
The suspect, who simply gave his name as
Adeniji Lukman, from Osun State, was
paraded in Abuja, on Monday, before
newsmen by the Commandant-General of
NSCDC, Dr Ade Abolurin.
Lukman confessed to have committed the
cyber crime of hacking into websites of
government agencies, including security
agencies and selling of fake recruitment
forms to unsuspecting job seekers.
He told newsmen that he was an expert in
website design and had been using that
advantage to defraud many Nigerians.
Answering the question on why he chose
cyber crime with his talent, the suspect
said, “it is ignorance. I have a talent and I
know how to design website.”
Dr Abolurin disclosed that the suspect had
been notorious for hacking into websites of
government agencies, including the NSCDC,
States Security Service (SSS), Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
, National Examination Council (NECO) and
Nigeria Customs Service.
The suspect was also alleged to have
hacked into the website of the Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS) and was already
having a rip-off from the current
recruitment exercise being conducted by
into NIS.
He was also alleged to have hacked into the
website of JAMB and produce questions
and answers likely to feature in the
examinations and sold them to the public
before the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) was held.
“The suspect before us is an expert in
website design. He can hack into any
system, most especially government
agencies’ system.He develops portals
through which he used to put some
adverts, advertising for recruitment for all
these agencies.
“He just graduated from College of
Education, Ilaro, in March and he went to
computer training centre where he learnt
some of these things.
“The crux of the matter is that when he
hacked into our system, there were so
much outcries in the country. This got to
my knowledge late last year, and so we
started trailing the suspect.
“We thank God, on September 26, we got
him. He is 23 years. He was arrested in
Osun State,” he said.
