Abstract
Today’s world is the e-world. It is powered by e-speed, digital innovation and borderless expanse; we live in the e-age of emerging information society. Information technology has enhanced several aspects of human life and has made virtually everything easier. But it comes with a price, which is the use of the internet for perpetuation of various forms of cyber offences. Several jurisdictions have recognized the use of the internet for criminal activities and have enacted Laws regulating the conduct of persons in the cyberspace. Up until the 5th of May 2015 when the Nigerian National Assembly passed the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention etc) Act 2015, into Law, Nigeria failed to enact any Laws regulating cybercrimes. Therefore, this article attempts a critical analysis of the Provisions of Act, highlights the pitfalls of the Act and possible conflicts with other Acts of the National Assembly.
