NIGERIANS ARE WARNED BY THE LAGOS POLICE DEPARTMENT NOT TO SEND NUDE PHOTOS.

Babatunji Wusu –

Nigerians have been advised not to share their nudes with a second party by the Spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in light of recent instances of leaked nudes or sex recordings of celebrities in the nation.

On Wednesday morning, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Lagos State Police Command posted on his X handle (formerly Twitter) that if people must send their nudes, they should take certain precautions in order to avoid being tricked and becoming the target of blackmail or extortion.

SP Hundeyin wrote: “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.”
