Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Public Relations Officer, gave instructions on how to safely share explicit contents while cautioning citizens about the risks of extortion and blackmail.
The Police PRO took to his X page to dish out the advice following the recent increase in leaked tape videos circulating on social media.
Hundeyin said he lost count of the number of complaints he has received from people about someone attempting to blackmail them with their nudes.
The Lagos PPRO warned against entrusting people with one’s private photos, but noting that if sharing it is necessary, safeguards such setting the image to only be viewed once and hiding one’s face, among others.
He said, “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 to this,” he advised.
