Nigeria has no law against this activity. But those scammed may end up in jail.

Yes it seems like a lot of places in the world are taking this scamming business and making it global, heard of some even creating fake online banking sites and sending e-mails to people requesting them to login into thier online banking accounts and changing thier passwords, little knowing that the fake website they are entering it in, is logging thier orignal password and using it at the real online banking website and accessing peoples money and depositing it to over seas accounts.
Thats why checking the URL of the banking website is so important, cos the URL can never be faked.
