Police to Adopt Modern Technology to Catch FESTAC Robbery Gang...See How
Posted by Lolade on Thu 15th Oct, 2015 - tori.ngThe much publicized robbery attack that shook the town of Festac has led the Police to employ modern technology to fish out the culprits.
It has been learnt that the police had swiped the affected banks for fingerprints, as part of measures to close in on the 50-man heavily armed gang who stormed FESTAC Town on Tuesday.
Officials of the Lagos State Anti-bomb squad, alongside other police personnel, concentrated on areas where the robbers went, in order to secure their finger prints.
Police sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, however expressed worry that the fingerprints they swiped might not lead them to the real culprits.
He said: “It’s true we swiped for finger prints because the police is now driven by forensic technology, but our worry is that there were so many people in the banks when the robbery took place.
“The question is, what is the probability of isolating the fingerprints of the robbers? Another issue is that we don’t have a national data base of all Nigerians and their fingerprints.
“So, even if we eliminate the fingerprints and narrow it down, what database do we compare the collated fingerprints with? That is our cause of worry.”
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Jospeh Offor, declined to confirm if the police had finally swiped for fingerprints.
