There are numerous benefits one can get from using technological innovations ranging from comfort to minimal cost in telecommunications, health, aviation, commerce, energy, agriculture, intelligence, education via Internet and Internet of things (IoT).

Therefore, the research provides awareness as to how these Cybercrimes can be mitigated especially within the scope of Sierra Leone. It largely focuses on the establishment of the Cybercrime Unit at the Central Intelligence Department (CID), and the Office of the National Security (ONS), both units was created by an act of Parliament to secure and protect citizens against imminent cyber criminals within the confirmed of Sierra Leone. These agencies has been able to solve some of the crimes issues but yet still there exist unsolved problems. This is because of lack of many indigenous cyber security experts in the country. Also, the study indicated that the laws governing Cybercrimes are too weak to be able to tackle all the numerous issues relating the internet crime.
