According to Onadipe, we cannot eradicate cyber crimes and internet abuse totally in society but we can reduce the menace by informing the public, particularly internet users about what they can do to protect themselves online.

“When you come across safety tips on how to avoid cyber crimes and internet abuse, share the tips with other internet users to educate them, listen to news on cyber crimes, share the news with others so that they can learn from it, ask questions from experts and learn from them,” he added.
