The Commissioning Ceremony of Nigeria Police Forensic Laboratory and Digital Resource Centre took place on Wednesday, 15th June, 2016 at the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, FCID, Abuja.
The Inspector-General of Police IGP Solomon E. Arase fdc, NPM, while commissioning the facility said that it would help the Nigeria Police Force to comply with provisions of the administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 to capture and remit to the office of the Attorney General of the Federation all biometrics of suspected persons arrested by the police.
The police chief said that biometrics would support policing not only as a source of intelligence, but also a vital aid to successful investigation and prosecution of criminal elements.
He explained that over the years police have been grappling with weak forensic capacity which has been a major hindrance in managing complex criminal situations.
”The Force is equipped with vital tool to guide its operations, investigations and prosecutorial engagement.
"Also the facilities have a wide variety of applications for positive identification of suspects through their finger prints, iris and facial recognition functions,” he said.
