Chief expresses concern about cyber fraud among students

Accra, Aug. 12, GNA- Nii Tetteh Adjabeng I, Chief of Adabraka Atukpai on Wednesday called on the Ministry of Education, to scrutinize students who gain admissions into tertiary schools to help eliminate computer fraud and occultic practices that had bedevilled the nation. Nii Adjabeng made the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra on the current computer fraud, which had taken root in the Ghanaian society.

He said dissemination of information through the internet was very useful and that everything possible must be done to check its abuses. "In recent times it was difficult to access information and now that information can be accessed without any difficulty, we should not sit down for people to abuse it," he said Nii Adjabeng expressed regret that the canker could ruin the future leaders of the nation and appealed to religious bodies to help arrest the situation.

He called on the Ministry of Education to strengthen its counselling units to help check moral decadence among students. Nii Adjabeng appealed to the chiefs and people of Ga Traditional Area to ensure peaceful celebration of the annual Homowo festival. The festival is celebrated to hoot at hunger in remembrance of a long famine that nearly exterminated their ancestors.
