Item Jurisdiction to prescribe in cybercrime: an appraisal of the law(2010) Araromi, M. A.Cybercrime has become a phenomenal subject matter that has captured the interests of all sovereign states the world over. It is a crime that has peculiar characteristic which makes it different from other traditional crimes. The nature of cybercrime is such that its commission does not give recognition to physical borders or territorial integrity and therefore opens it up to multijurisdictional interests. The queer nature of the crime therefore requires the resolution of conflicts of interests of the States which have connections in one way or the other to the commission of such crime. This work examines the basic principles of jurisdiction in international law to determine the extent of their applicability to cybercrime.Item Moratorium on proliferation of small arms and light weapons and communal conflicts in Nigeria(Nigerian Association of Law Teachers, 2017-06) Araromi, M.

A.There are certain rights that are fundamental and should be enjoyed by everybody regardless of gender, tribe, colour, creed and age. The society sees some people as vulnerable and as such will require its protection. A category of such vulnerable in the society is the old people that need special attention because of their weak nature and low production capacity. The nature of the old people has no doubt captured the attention of the international community who offers some legal protections to them by the provisions of various treaties and conventions. The aim of this article is to consider the legislation, if any, and policy development in the care of old people in Nigeria. It therefore germane to review what the law offers to protect this category of people in Nigeria in comparison with the standard required at the international scene.Item Regulatory framework of telecommunication sector: a comparative analysis between Nigeria and Soutfi Africa(Edinburgh University Press, 2015) Araromi, M. A.Item A critical review of the regulatory framework for police accountability in the Nigeria’s justice system(The Nigerian Association of Law Teachers, 2014) Araromi, M. A.; Oke, A.The Police are recognised all over the world as one of the major instruments of enforcing law and order in society. By this function, the police are often empowered by the law to carry out this responsibility. The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is constitutionally recognised to carry out the functions of policing in Nigeria. Thus, the police are endowed by the Constitution and other recognised laws with powers of surveillance, arrest, seizure, interrogation, detention, bail and prosecution of offenders, among others These powers are further expanded by the discretions enjoyed by the police in law enforcement- which include when to arrest, who to arrest, where and whom to search, and how much force to be used in any particular case. In the exercise of these wide powers and discretions, there is a natural tendency that the police personnel may act contrary to the dictates, discretions and beyond the" powers conferred by the law. Hence, there are measures put in place to checkmate the excessive or misuse of police powers, authority and discretions. There are - basically two categories of police accountability measures or framework for controlling the use of the powers conferred on the police. These may be external to the police organisational framework, or may be internal mechanisms adopted by the police authority itself to regulate its functions, in order to ensure its accountability. It is the purpose of this work to review these two methods of police accountability and determine their effectiveness and therefore suggest the way forward.Item Breach of human rights by nigerian police in the performance of its functions: need for a reform(David Publishing Company, 2013-10) Araromi, M. A.; Oke, A.Nigerian Police is charged with the responsibility of upholding the law and ensuring order is kept within the polity. It is however observed that the police in carrying out its functions constantly abuses the rights of the citizens which are considered as natural rights and very fundamental to every human existence. This study aims at examining the roles of the police in Nigeria and the various ways and the rights of citizens are being encroached upon by the said police. The legal standards prescribed for the operations of Nigerian police are measured against the international standards as a parameter in order to determine the weak points of the Nigerian standards. Suggestions are therefore made on how Nigerian police can be more humane in carrying out its functions.Item A need for cybercrime-specific legislation to address cybercrime as a new phenomenon of crime(Department of Private and Business Law, Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan, 2012-12) Araromi, M. A.Cybercrime portrays a new concept of crime that needs to be specially addressed by the law. The ways and the avenues of commission of this type of crime are remarkably different from the traditional means of committing crime, though sometimes the same consequence may result irrespective of the method adopted, only that the gravity may differ. The aim of this research is therefore to address the phenomenon of cybercrime in order to determine if the crime needs special legislative provisions different from the traditional crime statutes applicable in Nigeria
