3. Analysis of Findings

To find out whether the cyber café operators have any knowledge about the existence of cybercrimes, two
questions in different sections of the questionnaire were posed to them. The first one in section B of the
questionnaire wanted to find out whether, as a cybercafé operator, he/she is aware of the existence of
cybercrimes. The second question was posed in section C, and it required the respondent to rate himself/herself
on a Likert scale of 1 to 5 on the agreement with the statement that "there are risks involved when I am working
online." On getting the two questions' descriptive statistics, it shows that most cyber café operators in both
Sokoto and Kebbi acknowledge that there are risks while working online. At the same time majority of the
respondent, port to be aware of computer crimes. Despite being knowledgeable about computer crime, the
operators neglected to take active measures to avoid cybercrime and the high risk involved when working
online.
Table 2, under the Sokoto section, describes how the cyber café operators in Sokoto know about cybercrime.
89.2% of respondents agreed that there are risks involved whenever they work online, 7.2% disagreed, and
3.6% were neutral. 78.6% of respondents agreed that they were aware of the various computer cybercrimes
likely to be exposed to while working online, and only 3% are neutral and disagreed response. Also, 78.6% of
respondents strongly agreed that it is always advisable to log in as a user rather than an administrator whenever
going online, 3.6% agreed, and 17.8% were neutral. 46.4% of respondents were agreed that there is no risk in
using the same password for different accounts or computers; 7.2% are neutral, while 46.4% disagreed. 53.6%
of respondents agreed that they needed to regularly change their password/frequently to avoid cybercrimes,
while 35.7% disagreed, 10.7% were neutral. Lastly, 89.2% of respondents agreed that any password they use
should have at least eight characters, a combination of alphabets, digits & symbols, and 3.6% each were neutral
and disagreed.
The Kebbi section of Table 2 indicates that 90.4% of the respondents agreed that there are risks involved
whenever they work online, while 4.8% were disagreed and neutral. 85.7% of respondents agreed that they were
aware of the various computer cybercrimes likely to be exposed to while working online, 9.5% were neutral,
and 4.8% have disagreed. Also, 80.9% of respondents agreed that it is always advisable to log in as users rather
than an administrator whenever going online, 4.8% disagreed, and 14.3% were neutral. 38.1% of respondents
agreed that there is no risk using the same password for different accounts or computers; 33.3% disagreed 28.6%
were neutral. 66.7% of respondents decided to regularly change their password/frequently to avoid cybercrimes,
while 4.7% disagreed, and 28.6% were neutral. Lastly, 90.5% of respondents agreed that any password they use
should have at least eight characters, which should be a combination of alphabets, digits & symbols, and 9.5%
of respondents were neutral. Therefore, it shows that most cyber café operators from Sokoto and Kebbi know
about cybercrime, but they take minimum protection of their computer systems from cybercrime.
