The Nigeria Police Force is set to launch a digital solution to ensure standardisation and upgrade of the Force identification system to be known as e-Warrant Card.
It says the e-Warrant Card would provide seamless identification of officers all over the country and eliminate the possibility of criminal elements presenting fake identity cards at police stations personating themselves to be police officers.
Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, who announced this, said the project which commenced with his approval is being carried out by Police ICT experts attached to the Department of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Force Headquarters, Abuja.
He says upon its launch, it would engender a full digitalisation of police identification nationwide and provide a valid basis for effecting arrests with warrants in line with extant laws, and many other benefits attached to the use of such e-warrant cards.
