In a series of tweets, former Presidential Aide and social media commentator Reno Omokri has highlighted the vulnerability of Nigeria’s cybersecurity system, citing the infamous case of the Mavrodian Mondial Moneybox (MMM) scam that duped hundreds of thousands of Nigerians of nearly half a billion dollars.
