Lagos: Police Seek Special Court For Fraud Cases

Commisioner of Police, Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Lagos, Anyasinti Josephine Nneka, has appealed to the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Olanrewaju Alogba, for the designation of a court that will attend to applications filed by the unit.

She said this would expedite action on fraud and other criminal applications.

CP Nneka made the request during the PSFU’s courtesy visit to the Chief Judge in Ikeja.

While assuring the Chief Judge that the unit under her supervision would always partner with the state judiciary towards ensuring that the prevalence of fraud-related cases is brought to the barest minimum through fair and diligent prosecution, she said the CP, PSFU along with her team also expressed appreciation to the Lagos Judiciary for creating time for the interaction, despite their busy schedule.

Adding that particularly the cooperation the unit receives from the various courts within the Lagos State judiciary in respect of applications for court orders relevant to investigation of cases of fraud reported to the unit are most appreciated by PSFU.

“We acknowledged, with gratitude, the application of the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law, 2005; by the Lagos State Judiciary in respect of interim/final forfeiture of properties, which are identified and/or proved to be proceeds of fraud.

“This makes restitution possible to ameliorate the sufferings of the victim of such fraud,” Nneka said.
