Abstract

The rise of economic fraud in Nigeria is one of the greatest threats to the financial stability of the nation, the governance systems, and socio-economic development. Though there are legal frameworks in curtailing economic fraud, there seem to be several challenges given the sophisticated economic frauds that have evolved. Therefore, this study aimed to examine AI as a transformative tool to supplement Nigeria's legal framework in its legal fight against economic fraud through facilitating the improvement of violation detection, automation of evidence gathering, and support of data-driven policymaking. It also enhances efficiency in law enforcement via predictive analytics and real-time monitoring systems. The study adopts a qualitative methodology, including an analysis of the legal framework and a literature review on AI in combating economic fraud. The findings show that despite some legal frameworks put in place for economic fraud, the legal mechanisms for the detection, prevention, and prosecution of economic fraud lack adequate capacity and nearly totally lack a procedural perspective. Also, in the study, it was found that AI technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing can help in providing means for those datasets to find some patterns, improving forensic investigations and decision-making processes in fraud cases. Thus, it stipulates that integrating AI into Nigeria's Legal Framework is essential for combating economic fraud. Policy reforms, capacity-building programs, and investment in AI infrastructure have been recommended to facilitate its adoption.

Abstract

Nigeria continues to prioritise military intervention as the principal response to terrorism; however, persistent violence indicates that structural socio-economic inequalities, unemployment, and regional marginalisation sustain conditions conducive to radicalisation. In contrast, the United Kingdom integrates economic justice within its legal and policy framework, thereby complementing security measures with socio-economic regulation. This study analyses the role of economic justice as a lawful and sustainable counter-terrorism strategy through a comparative examination of the United Kingdom and Nigeria. This research aims to evaluate the legal basis for implementing economic justice measures in counterterrorism and to assess their relevance for long-term peacebuilding in Nigeria. The study employs a doctrinal research method, systematically examining legislation, public policy instruments, and scholarly works using the PRISMA framework to ensure transparent and rigorous source selection. The findings demonstrate that, first, the United Kingdom establishes a normative and institutional framework that links welfare regulation and social protection to the prevention of violent extremism; second, it enforces financial accountability and regulatory oversight to limit structural grievances and disrupt potential channels of radicalisation; and third, Nigeria maintains a predominantly securitised counter-terrorism regime that lacks enforceable economic rights and targeted development legislation. The study concludes that Nigeria should reform its legal framework by embedding inclusive economic governance, strengthening institutional accountability, and codifying socio-economic rights as integral components of a sustainable counter-terrorism strategy.
