Abstract
The advancement of digital technology and the internet has immensely propelled socio-economic progress in developing countries. However, it also brought with it cybercrimes and the various levels of complexity. Further, in developing nations, precision and speed of cybercrime investigative process has become an intractable challenge in criminal jurisprudence. Therefore, the holistic traceability of digital (source, medium and target) devices used for cybercrimes requires the acceptance of digital forensics and adoption of a robust digital forensics investigative process. This research however, adopts a factor analytic approach to formulating and evaluating indices that contribute to the possible adoption of digital forensics in Nigeria. Here thirty-four indices were formulated and questionnaires were administered using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. The data obtained were analyzed by means of factor analysis by principal component using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The output was subjected to orthogonal rotation using varimax and four factors were resultantly extracted. The output of this research could serve as resource for further cyber security analysis.
