Abdulrasheed Bawa, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said that there is no place for fraudsters and corrupt persons in heaven.
Bawa asked Nigerian youth to shun internet fraud and serve as partners in the fight against financial crimes.
The EFCC boss stated this while speaking on “Inherent risks on Cyber/Internet fraud” at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries in Dakwo Mega Region, Abuja.
Bawa who was represented by Assistant Commander of the EFCC, Joseph Yetwi, said that cybercrime was prevalent among young people between the ages of 14-40.
He cited some instances of corrupt practices that did not end well in the Bible, asking youths to embrace hard work as a means to success.

He charged parents to guide their children and ward in accordance with the dictates of Proverbs 22: 6: ‘Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it’.
Bawa added, “Exodus 20:15 says ‘You shall not steal.’ It is important to note that all forms of financial crimes are directly and indirectly theft or stealing.”
According to the anti-graft chief, there are many more passages of the Bible that emphasized God’s disapproval of financial crimes and corruption.
“There is no place for a fraudster or corrupt person in the Kingdom of God. If anyone engages in these vices, he or she will suffer punishment from God and man”, he said.
