Efforts of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to
combat financial crimes in the country have received a boost as
the United Kingdom, through its Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA),
donated sophisticated forensic information technology equipment to the
commission.
The initial assistance of the UK government in the provision of modern
equipment to the commission had enabled it to commence full digital
forensic analytical work and with the latest donation, the forensic
analytical capacity of the commission would be further enhanced.
The spokesperson of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwijaren, who made this known
in Abuja, said the equipment were formally handed over at the
commission’s headquarters by the Team Leader, Governance and Social
Development, UK Department for International Development (DFID), Mr.
Oliver Blake, to the new Secretary of the commission, Mr. Adegboyega
Aremo.
Speaking before the presentation, Blake highlighted the importance of
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment in combating
criminal activities, noting that the equipment would improve the
commission’s forensic capabilities.
