What the reports say
Sierra Leone’s National Cybersecurity Coordinator, Mariama Yormah, has urged citizens to exercise greater caution online and adopt safer digital practices to ‘stop, think and verify’ information as the country’s growing reliance on digital services exposes more people to online scam. Yormah made the call during the Government Weekly Press Conference at the Miatta Civic Centre, on 11th August 2026, where she warned that criminals are increasingly exploiting digital platforms to steal money, personal information and access to online accounts.
