Abstract
Poverty and cybercrime are two topical concepts that have attracted a lot of interest in Nigeria and in the global community today. This study used the compartmental mathematical modelling approach to provide a comprehensive framework for analyzing the dynamics of poverty and its relationship with cybercrime in the South-South region of Nigeria. The model was derived from a five-compartment representation from which a set of five ordinary differential equations (ODEs) was developed, which captures its dynamism. The stability analysis and determination of the conditions for stability at steady state of the system were done using the Routh Array criterion. The ODEs were solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge Kutta method. Findings reveals that intervention programmes at different stages can help decrease the population in both impoverished and cybercrime compartments in the region.
