Two authoritative new works on the law of electronic evidence in Nigeria ”Electronic Evidence, Second Edition, 2026 and A Compendium of Cases on Electronic Evidence with Case-by-Case Commentaries” have earned glowing endorsements from some of the most distinguished jurists, scholars and law officers in the country, including the Attorney-General of the Federation, a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and a former Vice Chancellor.
Authored and edited by Hon. Justice (Prof.) Omolaye-Ajileye, the two volumes have been described as indispensable tools for navigating the increasingly complex intersection of law and technology, with particular reference to the authentication of digital evidence under Section 84 of the Evidence Act, 2011.
ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE, SECOND EDITION, 2026
Endorsing the work, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef O. Fagbemi, SAN, situated the book within the realities of the digital age.
“In our increasingly digital world, the traditional paradigms of documentary evidence face fundamental challenges. This book addresses these challenges with remarkable clarity, providing practitioners with an indispensable … guide through the complexities of digital evidence,” Fagbemi said.
“What particularly strikes me is the author’s practical approach to bridging law and technology. His analytical framework of Section 84 of the Evidence Act, 2011, demonstrates a nuanced understanding of authentication challenges that practitioners face daily.”
On his part, Professor Olufemi Peters, former Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria, praised the second edition for combining practical relevance with scholarly rigour.
“What sets this second edition apart is its masterful blend of practical relevance and academic depth. The author not only revises existing content to reflect current realities but also introduces new chapters that address emerging issues, providing readers with contemporary tools for understanding the legal implications of digital information,” Peters said.
“Importantly, this edition deepens its engagement with judicial precedents, extracting and synthesising core principles from Nigerian and comparative jurisprudence.”
A COMPENDIUM OF CASES ON ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE WITH CASE-BY-CASE COMMENTARIES
The companion volume, A Compendium of Cases on Electronic Evidence with Case-by-Case Commentaries, has likewise drawn high praise from the bench and the academy.
A Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, JSC, OFR, FICMC, commended the depth of the analytical commentaries.
“The analytical observations embodied in the commentaries demonstrate a deep engagement with the judicial process. They clarify areas where the courts have settled the law, identify questions that remain open for further judicial consideration, and provide practical insights into the evidential requirements prescribed by Section 84 of the Evidence Act and related provisions,” Justice Tsammani said.
“Such reflections are of immense value to judges, legal practitioners, investigators, and scholars who must grapple with the practical realities of presenting or evaluating electronically generated evidence.”
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, PhD, SAN, singled out the case-by-case commentaries for special commendation.
“One particularly notable feature of the compendium is the inclusion of case-by-case analytical commentaries by Hon. Justice [Professor] Omolaye-Ajileye. These commentaries go beyond the mere reproduction of judicial decisions; they illuminate the principles emerging from the cases and situate them within the broader doctrinal framework governing electronic evidence in Nigeria,” Amupitan said.
“Through careful exposition and thoughtful analysis, the Editor demonstrates remarkable erudition and mastery of a subject that continues to evolve in response to technological innovation.”
Taken together, the endorsements from the Attorney-General of the Federation, a Justice of the Supreme Court, the INEC Chairman, and a former Vice Chancellor underscore the standing of Electronic Evidence, Second Edition, 2026 and A Compendium of Cases on Electronic Evidence with Case-by-Case Commentaries as essential references for judges, legal practitioners, investigators, academics and students grappling with the rapidly evolving law of electronic and digital evidence in Nigeria.
In an era in which virtually every transaction, communication and record leaves a digital footprint and in which the admissibility and authentication of electronically generated evidence under Section 84 of the Evidence Act, 2011, increasingly determine the outcome of litigation across civil, criminal, commercial and electoral matters the two works by Hon. Justice (Prof.) Omolaye-Ajileye offer both the doctrinal foundation and the practical guidance that the Nigerian legal community has long required.
Both titles are recommended for every law library, chambers, court and institution committed to staying abreast of the law and practice of electronic evidence in Nigeria.
