The perpetrators just sit beside their computers and then they are just doing what they are doing and they think is victimless. But cybercrime, we make them understand that they are victims and the victims are going through a lot. And then it's not something we can fold our hands and see people losing their hard-earned monies to these bad guys. So it's a serious thing. Nigeria as a country is fighting and supporting the agency to ensure that we overcome this. Because our youths are derailed into this and then the country cannot fold its arms and see these guys going this way.

So the EFCC is leading that fight. And then we are doing a lot and we are partnering a lot with the FBI and other agencies across the world to ensure that we achieve success in that regard.

For us, the joint operations and the collaboration is of mutual benefit to our countries. Now, on the other side, we are here. The terrain is ours. We know the terrain very, very well. No matter how good the FBI is, they may not be able to penetrate our terrain the way we will do. So they will find us very useful in that regard, in that partnership. The FBI also have the techniques the equipment, and other things. And they have been in this business for a very, very long time. So we have a lot to learn from them, too, as well.

This Operation Artemis is one of the most successful operations we have had with the FBI. A lot of them have been extradited back to the U.S. where they will stand trial. And we're still pursuing a lot of them. And we hope to get every single one of them. Because with the kind of collaboration that we have and the determination and commitment we have, I don't see anything stopping us from getting these guys no matter where they are.
