The US Dept. of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) issued the Alert (TA17-293A) Advanced Persistent Threat Activity Targeting Energy and Other Critical Infrastructure Sectors on Friday 10/20/17, warning CNI firms (esp. nuclear power and other energy providers, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors) that they are at increased risk of "highly targeted" staged attacks by the Dragonfly APT group, which may attempt to gain operational control for data exfiltration.

All I'm saying is, a serving Inspector General of Police cannot do launching, using the instrumentality of a police broadcaster to steal, extort and rob the public of their money to be so donated by all the political crooks, business crooks, royal crooks, civil service crooks that abound in that country, whilst millions are going without food and clothing for days, weeks and months - and what is worse, with workers not being paid salaries in Nigeria!
And NEVER, EVER must a time come in that country when an IGP will brazenly and unashamedly stand before the Nigerian public to solicit for funds to establish such a very questionalble outfit - NEVER!
Still not even when the genuine intention of this ignominious venture cannot be vouched for.
And after retirement, the ex-IGP, Ibrahim Kpovulture Idris becomes the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of the so-called police broadcaster?
Your guess is as good as mine!
