Computer-Generated Evidence Under Nigerian Law: Cases, Materials and Commentaries

In this book, the author highlights in a most condensed but comprehensive manner, judicial pronouncements by the superior courts of records as they relate to practice and procedures in the area of computer-generated evidence in Nigeria, and also offers elucidative commentaries on same. There is no magic wand for all the practice and procedures on the issues of electronic evidence in Nigeria but merely a contribution to the enhancement of practical information and understanding and to break the barrier that often leads to otherwise admissible evidence to be rejected at the altar of wrong application of practice and procedures, thus leading to losing a good case whose foundation lies on computer-generated evidence.

This book presents an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds within and outside the legal and judicial circles to read and appreciate the law relating to computer-generated evidence in Nigeria, especially now that we are in a digital age. This book is in a class of its own and I found it to be a unique contribution and uncommon enterprise in the province of the exposition of burning legal issues that are of immense relevance to the need of judges, legal practitioners, law teachers, security agents and law students...and I have no hesitation in recommending this essential and must read legal literature to all within and outside the legal profession in Nigeria. - Prof. Mansur Ibrahim Sa’id, Former Deputy Vice Chancellor Administration, Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto.
