“The young ones should be very vigilant, especially the female ladies. They should desist from taking nude photos in the first place because if the phone or the device with which you took such photos gets missing, criminals could use it to blackmail you,” he advised.

He also added that the use of platforms such as “Facebook were landing youngsters into trouble because that is where strangers hide to track down their victims using fake names among other things”.
