The One-day training, which was held in Oaklands Hotel, Government Reservation Area, G.R.A, Enugu, drew participants from different cadres. The training, themed; “Forensics Revamped: Empowering Investigations” is an initiative of the Commission’s Forensics and Crime Laboratory Services Department, FCLSD, aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Commission’s investigative processes.


The training was focused on improving the laboratory processes, procedures, modernizing forensics techniques, incorporating advanced technologies and providing comprehensive training to first responders.


Taking the participants on Forensics Document Examination, Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE II Joshua Oloye noted that a document can be questioned because of its origin and circumstances regarding its production, adding that in order to arrive at a reliable conclusion, the examiner needs genuine documents for comparing the questioned document. He said that materials for comparison purposes are known as Specimens.


Describing a Specimen as a sample of handwriting, signature and documents collected for examination, Oloye listed three types of Specimen which include; Request, Standard and Contemporaneous. He equally spoke on how to collect Specimens, laying emphasis on the Dos and Don’ts of collecting Specimens.

 “Fingerprint identification or hand print identification, is the process of comparing two instances of friction ridge skin impressions from human fingers or toes or even the palm of the hand or sole of the foot, to determine whether these impressions could have come from the same individual”, he said.


He outlined Uniqueness, Permanence, Universality, Complexity and Detail, Ease of Collection, Technical Compatibility, Legal Acceptance and Cost Effectiveness as reasons for using fingerprints for identification.


Nnaji also outlined the importance of fingerprint for Identification which includes linking one crime scene to another involving the same person, providing biometric security, amongst others.
