Transnational crimes, driven by multifaceted factors, hinder Africa’s socio-economic development. The internet’s rapid growth has led to daily cybercrimes, threatening institutions and individuals. The UN defines organized crime as involving three or more people committing crimes for financial or material gain. This paper reviewed literature on the role of prayers and religious rituals in supporting cybercrimes in Nigeria. Despite extensive discussion on cybercrime dynamics, the socio-spiritual motives involving religious actors have been overlooked. Using secondary data, the study reveals that cyber-criminals recruit religious actors who provide prayers, rituals, and spiritual support for money. This relationship fosters cyber-criminality.
