Nigerian Police Installing Automated Fingerprinting Machines. Criminals Beware! by Seun(m): 4:18am On May 09, 2005
On the fourth of May 2005, the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria approved the purchase and installation of automated fingerprinting machines to the tune of 257 million. According to Mr. Broderick Bozimo, Minister of Police Affairs, the installation wil be carried out by a Nigerian firm in collaboration with a Korean firm (source)

I think this is a nice one from the Government, though perhaps overdue. I believe that a number of innocent people are being condemned to death by hanging in this country based on circumstantial evidence; may such misfortune not befall any one of us. A police force that can work with fingerprint evidence will be a much better police force.

Perhaps they used manual techniques in the past.

Only a Nigerian police spokesperson will be able to give us a good answer.

Manual technique's don't work too well in humid conditions though because the print would be damaged easily (also the population distribution of nigeria would make it again easily damaged (the sheer amount of people in places -- in perticular lagos))

It is kind of surprising that The Nigerian Police Force is just ambarking on automated fingerprinting machines at this age when more civilised nations are already using advanced techniques like lie detectors in their forensic laboratories.

And what is the guarantee that if these machines are installed they will not be hampered and grounded due to the dreaded Nigerian factors.

Lets face it, The Nigerian Police Force is many generations behind their counterparts in the western worlds. Our Police Force don't investigate, they only make arrests and prosecute based on circumstantial evidence as already said by Seun. May God deliver us from them.

Lie detector's aren't that advanced they measure the temperature in a bit of the body that heats up when someone is lie (nervous) and study other patterns (voice tone etc)

Unfortantly they're not reliable and tend to call someone a lier if there just nervous.

Lets not forget that in as in the case of all forms of technology, the result you get is only as good as the input.In other words, GIGO garbage in garbage out.

With a police force that can 'manufacture' statements by suspects;that do not display any form of detective work whatsoever, I would be really surprised if this is not going to be another white elephant project. We hope and pray not.
