Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), on Thursday in
Abuja, signed an MoU with the Nigerian Police Force to train and
strengthen the capacity of personnel of the force on forensic
investigation.
Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, who spoke at the
occasion, said the personnel to be trained would be better equipped with
the knowledge of forensic investigation that could be applied to all
areas of investigations.
“The forensic courses that you have in your country will give
us a wider horizon in terms of knowledge in different fields that will
require forensic investigation.
“We will provide you with the personnel to be trained within
the three years period and after which we will assess the programme to
see its effectiveness.
“That will give us room to identify the areas we can improve on to get the maximum benefit of the MoU,” he said.
He said that the training would be held in Korea, adding that it
would be on forensic investigation, counter terrorism, kidnap and
abduction as well as community policing.
Amb. Lee In-tae, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Nigeria,
said the training to be acquired under the MoU would impact positively
on the capacity of the beneficiaries.
He commended the inspector-general for the opportunity given to the KOICA to partner the Nigerian Police.
