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.
