that a number of factors are responsible for the contemporary manifestation of discrepancies between Nigeria's northern and southern regions when it comes to cyber fraudsters' arrest, conviction, and sentencing.that fraudsters from northern Nigeria deploy a peculiar modus operandi that does not often come to the attention of the crimes commission and other crime agencies. One is the"hit-and-run method" involving nomadic scammers from northern Nigeria.

We posit that it's reasonable to argue that the crimes commission's disproportionate criminalisation of southern young people may not suggest that these young people are responsible for the bulk of the intercontinental network of frauds originating from Nigeria.that religious and colonial history play a role in the north-south divide in the production and prosecution of cyber crime.
