Rendering the Federal Investigation Company’s cybercrime wing as dysfunctional, the federal authorities has established a brand new establishment to cope with Peca offences.
The brand new establishment is known as as Nationwide Cyber Crime Investigation Company (NCCIA).
The earlier caretaker authorities authorized the NCCIA in December final 12 months beneath Part 51 of the Prevention of Digital Crimes Act 2016 (Peca).
The brand new company would take over cybercrime investigations from the FIA.
Equally, all personnel, property, liabilities, rights, obligations, privileges, inquiries and investigations associated to the FIA’s “defunct” Cybercrime Wing can be handed over to the NCCIA.
The NCCIA can be headed by a director-general who can be appointed by the Federal Authorities for a time period of two years
The NCCIA Director Common will train powers equal to these of an Inspector Common of Police.
