The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police command, Benjamin Hundeyin has warned Nigerians to tread carefully when sending out their nudes.
He advised the citizenry to cover their faces or any other identification marks when sharing such pictures with other individuals.
The police officer also warned Nigerians that videos can also be recorded and screenshot.
Hundeyin lamented that he has lost count of victims making reports about people blackmailing them with their nudes.
He urged Nigerians not to trust anyone and take adequate precautions.
According to him, “If you must send nudes, at least do one-view or cover your face or any other identification mark. And do not forget that video calls can be screen shot/recorded. For others, it is a clandestine recording of their intimate moments, of course without consent.
“I have honestly lost count of people, sometimes notable ones, approaching me about someone somewhere blackmailing and extorting them with their nudes.
“Trust no one. Take adequate precautions. Trust your instincts too. And do not forget to reach incb.npf.gov.ng in the unfortunate event you fall victim of this.”
