The American Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, has
donated a forensic work station to the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission to assist it in fighting graft.
The equipment, technically referred to as Forensic Recovery
of Evidence Device, FRED, was presented to the Head of Operations, Lagos Zonal
office of the EFCC, Iliyasu Kwarbai, by the United State acting Consul General,
Dehab Ghereab.
According to Ghereab, the equipment will enhance the EFCC’s
effort in the fight against cyber crime and standardize its operations.
Ghereab said: “As we engage in these practices, we needed
our counterparts, so the FBI office made an assessment of the prevailing cases
of cyber-based crimes which are not unique to Nigeria.”
In the views of Fritz Kennely, a technical personnel with
the FBI, the device will help the EFCC in analyzing, processing and preserving
digital evidence which can be presented in court in a clear, concise and
understandable manner, thereby aiding judges to adjudicate effectively.
