Police Highlight INTERPOL Collaboration In Fight Against Transnational Crime


By Zamira Ahmad Nasidi 


The Nigeria Police Force has joined law enforcement agencies worldwide to mark the United Nations International Day of Police Cooperation, highlighting the importance of cross-border collaboration in tackling transnational crime.


The Force said modern criminal networks increasingly operate across jurisdictions, with cyber fraudsters targeting victims in different countries and organised crime groups moving people, illicit goods and proceeds across borders.


It said sustained intelligence sharing and coordinated investigations with international partners had produced practical results in Nigeria, including the identification and recovery of stolen property, tracking of fugitives, disruption of organised crime networks and combating cyber-enabled crime.


According to a statement issued on Monday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, international cooperation contributed to the arrest and repatriation of Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, a murder suspect wanted over the abduction and killing of an FRSC officer and her daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State.


The police said Fejemirokum’s movements were traced through a viral social media video, after which he was located and arrested in Ghana by the Ghana Police Service before being repatriated to Nigeria.
