New Assistant Inspector General of Police, Murtala Mani, has warned fraudsters and bandits operating in any part of the country to quit or face the wrath of the Criminal Investigations Department.

Mani, said the department had spread its dragnet across all states in the country in line with the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu’s concerted effort to reposition the Nigeria Police Force, the Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex at Alagbon Close, Lagos.

Speaking with newsmen at his maiden news briefing, Mani, warned fraudsters and other criminally minded people to turn a new leaf as the FCID Alagbon under his watch would strictly reinvigorate the corporate identity for which the various sections of the department were known for in yester-years.

The sections, which are 11 in number include General Investigation, Interpol, Central Criminal Registry, Police Special Fraud Unit, Homicide and Forensic.

Other sections are Federal Special Anti-robbery Squad, Special Enquiry Bureau, Anti-human Trafficking, Legal and X-squad.

Mani, said since his assumption of office few weeks ago, all sections of the department were being reactivated to render the services they were originally created for.

He also said effort was being made to deploy as many professionals as possible to the fingerprint section to elevate it to global standard.

The AIG recalled how the annex made significant breakthroughs in otherwise complicated criminal cases including the arrest of the suspected brains behind the recent killing of Igwe Stephen Nneji Obuneme Nwatu Ibe I of Ogbozine Akpugo, Enugu State.
