Abstract

This chapter aims to present the findings of this study, investigating the cybercrime dynamics (composition, frequency, and complexity) in Nigeria. The study is a qualitative case study, structured to rely on semi-structured interviews of 18 cybercrime investigators, prosecutors, and digital forensic examiners, triangulating the findings with official documents, reports, and archival records. This chapter presented key findings, such as prosecution and conviction records of cybercrime (by taxonomy) in Nigeria since 2015, and others. This chapter also presented a synthesis of the analysis of official press releases as well as cybercrime case files, identifying trends and patterns in the process. The chapter ended with a comparative analysis of cybercrime investigation and prosecution in other jurisdictions, with the United States of America as case study.
