The establishment of the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Unit in 2017 was a direct response to the escalating global threat of cybercrime. This move demonstrated the Nigeria Police Force's unwavering commitment to crime prevention and detection in the digital age.

Over time, the Cybercrime Unit evolved into a national entity, becoming the central hub for addressing cyber and cyber-enabled crimes within and outside the Police Force. Renamed as the Nigeria Police Force - National Cybercrime Center, it has emerged as a beacon of excellence in combating digital threats.

Equipped with state-of-the-art digital forensic equipment, the Center excels in scrutinizing digital devices and collecting evidence. Its highly skilled detectives, with robust IT backgrounds, conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to fortify digital defenses.

Beyond its primary mandate of preventing, detecting, and investigating cybercrimes, the National Cybercrime Center possesses exceptional skills in intelligence gathering, meticulous analysis of digital evidence, and producing comprehensive reports. Additionally, it provides expert witness testimony to reinforce forensic findings in legal proceedings.
