Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006

This Act criminalizes various forms of advance fee fraud, commonly referred to as “419” offences, and provides a statutory basis for investigation, prosecution, and judicial redress. It also criminalizes attempts, conspiracies, and aiding and abetting related offences. The Act plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s anti-fraud legal architecture, serving as a foundation for enforcement agencies and prosecutors combating economic crimes, particularly in cyberspace.
