Visa Restrictions Linked to Cybercrime Surge, Says EFCC in Port Harcourt.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has raised concerns that the surge in cybercrime is contributing to stricter visa regulations for Nigerians abroad.

EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, stated that fraudulent activities not only jeopardize the future of those involved but also damage Nigeria’s global reputation, leading to tougher travel conditions for law-abiding citizens.

Olukoyede, represented by Chief Superintendent of the EFCC, CSE Coker Oyegunle, made the remarks during an event in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The EFCC chairman reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to strengthening awareness campaigns, enforcement, and collaboration with communities in the fight against financial crimes.
