The Development of cyber technology has given rise to unprecedented surge in information traffic around the globe. Unfortunately, cybercrimes have equally risen in equal proportion as cyber criminals go on in rampage. The surging rise in cybercrimes has led to the global challenge for a comprehensive and effective laws aimed at addressing the menace of cybercrimes by preventing and punishing cybercrime offenders. Thus by 2015, Nigeria joined the League of Nations that enacted domestic legislation for the prevention and punishment of cyber criminals. This work, using the Nigerian Cybercrimes Act of 2015 as a case study, critically examined the extant provisions of the Act that impacts on the rights of expression and privacy guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution. The methodology adopted in this work is doctrinaire as we analysed constitutional and legislative instruments. We found some provisions of the Act as violating the constitutional rights to freedom of expression and privacy of Nigerians and recommended modifications. |
