SFU Advocates Use Of Database Capturing Device To Stop Corruption
The Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU) on Thursday said only the use of Data Base can put an end to the problem of corruption in Nigeria.
The Public Relations Officer of the Unit (PRO), Audu Lawal, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, stated this while speaking extensively with a group of journalists on Thursday at PSFU’s office in Lagos, saying the use of data base in the country can prevent crime and corruption.
The intelligent and assertive formal Embassy Liaison officer of the Unit said only sustainable efforts of the government can help tame the monster of corruption through data base.
Lawal said the Unit is known for its professionalism; “we don’t condone half done jobs and those cases brought before us are fraud and forgery cases with other related financial cases.
“The issue of cases that are brought to us must interpret elements of crime before investigation, apart from Embassy and High Commission that are reported to us, we get the approval from the DIG Force Criminal Investigative Department (CID), and without the approval from DIG, the case will not commence,” he said.
Lawal warned the general public over visa procurement, coming from Embassy and High Commission, saying applicants applying for Schengen Visa, should desist from patronizing unauthorized agents who produce unacceptable certificate or fake documents to procure their visa for them.
He said, “It is illegal to patronize touts for visa, and when any document like Health Insurance Certificate, Limited Liability Company Certificate, Tax Clearance Certificate, Duly Bank Statement and many more are used in supporting your application for procurement of visa are fake, the Consular will send it to us for proper investigation .”
