Nigerians have taken to X to react after the spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, revealed that forensic analysis was used to apprehend some suspects who killed an Alhaji in Plateau.

 

Adejobi posted the photo above on his handle with the caption;

‘’IRT operatives use these recovered items, the shoes and the jacket, to trace the suspects who killed one Alhaji in Plateau State. Our experts lifted the prints on the shoes and did a forensic analysis of the blood stain on the jacket, which matched the blood sample of the deceased, which formed the main expert opinion and direct evidence to prosecute the culprits. Forensic investigation is key and fundamental to a better CJS in Nigeria. We intend to have more forensic laboratories in our state commands and FCID. Moving from analogue to digital. It’s achievable, and we shall get there.”

His post generated reactions as some Nigerians expressed their disbelief that the police have a forensic unit that can carry out such an investigation. Others stated that the police should be appreciated and believed.
