O. J . Simpson's trial comes to my mind. Forensic evidence is never enough. Without confession, a good lawyer can make a successful alibi case for his rich client.

Forensic evidence still remains a secondary evidence in Nigeria because no legislation expressly supports it as a primary evidence, not even the evidence act. It is more or less a heresay or what a polygraph test is in the American legal system. The police will only force confession from the suspect to establish a case and the suspect may give evidence of use of force if the police makes use of force. Without evidence the suspect may walk free.

Women are now endangered species in the society.


#Justice4Uwa

Rest in power beautiful Princess!

women are not endangered species. Its men, women population a million times out number men due to natural hard factors attached to men's life. You only say a specie is endangered when its population is drastically reducing. In science we have ED-endangered spp, ET-extinct, after ED comes ET. E.g Pantgera Tigris(tiger) is an ED spp, Okapia johnstoni(okapi) is an ED spp and cousin to Giraffa camelopadalis (giraffe) then we have archaeopteryx, sober toothed tiger, mammoth, dinosaurs etc as extinct spps. So avoid scientific words if you don't belong to our field, just don't use words carelessly

Finger print was examined? against which database? Nigerian police don come again with format.

adewumiopeyemi:
How did they examine finger print did they have all the dna data base of all edo peope
Yeye people they won turn to inverstigation discovery
I hope they didn’t arrest innocent people

Finger prints have nothing to do with DNA.

Nigeria has finger prints database (s) aross several platforms including, but not limited to, BVN, SIM Reg, NIMC etc.

The Police also has a forensics department and do work with private labs to crack cases, especially high profile ones.

With the right motivation and pressure, the Nigerian Police and security agencies, do draw from these resources to apprehend criminals speedily. You would be surprised at how efficient they can be if they are REALLY interested in a case. Unfortunate that they mostly need to get marching orders ( and inducement ) before going all out to achieve results.

they should release the beast to Uniben students for his award

School no dey in session so which kind book she dey read. The person responsible sha must be hanged

So ppl only read when schools re in session? Stop demonstrating the lazy youth syndrome here man

Good but the police should always be professional in dealing with cases like this. Why revealing what was used to identify one of the suspects?

Are we sure the right person was arrested?

Does this country have a fingerprint database? I honestly believe the person arrested maybe innocent.

The Nigerian police works when they are motivated and want to work.

Alitair:
I can imagine how restless his cohorts will be after his arrest.
If you do not have a fail proof plan of escape, don't commit the crime.

Justice for the victim

How about don't commit the crime. End of. Fail proof plan of escape or not.

SILVERLINES:


Police shouldn't waist time, just roast the guy and then Search for the remaining and do same

Who else notice that the departed lady's name Uwaila coincide with the Annang dialect meaning my world

Agwo Anaang ade agwo uko.

Wow, Nigeria now using finger prints for forensic investigations? Interesting

BigBashiru:


Men do the raping to death. It is does not matter if its a few men. What matters is that men consistently rape women to death. Women never rape any man to death. This is a social injustice that must be addressed. Also bear in mind that ALL MEN ARE POTENTIAL RAPISTS no exception.

well, i knw hw u feel buh this is totally meaningless, hope u knw that ur dad is also a man

They have access to BVN database and NIMC database..

Do you know how this comment sounds?

Commit a crime... but make sure you have a tight escape plan!

Even your signature leaves much to be desired... if you can’t make money by honest means... then you must take any other route, crooked or diabolic

cerebralniggie1:

There's voter reg database
NIMC
BVN
NPC
SIM REG
The list is endless...
What we have failed to do overtime is to harmonize these databases.

I said this to someone already, we don't have harmonized data and fingerprint search isn't as straightforward as googling. I wouldn't be surprised if much of these data are lost because even for passport renewal, we are always asked to recapture.

lol lets hope so but I still have my doubts.

AceVentura:

Go to Benin, to the police station and ask.

FINGER PRINT?

Since when did Nigeria have a finger print database to conduct forensic investigation of such magnitude?


I pray it's not an innocent person that's about to be nailed

RIP...but pls I need to know this,what is she doing in school now or is UNIBEN still in session under this lockdown?, secondly why must she read in that church when she knows that the school is scanty and her abode is scanty as well?

Kekereekun123:

See the mentality of an average Nigerian!
You think everyone is like you who reads only in an attempt to pass an exam that’s 3 days away?

If you think Nigeria does not have fingerprints database you are wrong.? Think of bvn, sim registration etc. Nigeria police and dss use fingerprints scanners. some private security firms also use them. Police does not use them in solving crimes because most criminals are insured by MAFIA in government , business and politics.
Definitely those that killed uwa knew her and they would have had some telephone conversations with her at least few months before the incident. what forensic experts would do is to gather information on those who conversed with her recently, profile them and match them with prints in scene of incident.

cbngov01:



I am surprised that this question is coming up. You dont know BVN and even your SIM registration is harnessed into different data basis available to authorities on request. There is a lot of interest in this case so I am not surprised. May the wickedness of the wicked never go unpunished...

It will never go unpunished!! God won’t allow it! The pains the culprits have inflicted on her poor parents, family and friends...

Even if they evade the law, God isn’t asleep! His punishment is far lethal!

Kekereekun123:
School no dey in session so which kind book she dey read. The person responsible sha must be hanged

hope u are not trying to blame her?

God just answer my pressing prayer this morning. I HV prayed for God to expose the culprit since this wickedness happened in d house of God. This is a prayer answer. By this news, I instigate the spirit of d late girl to not rest untill all d pepertrators are caught. This is my earnest prayer. Tk u Jesus for d answer prayer

A database that has all Nigerian's fingerprints, biodata and address? I doubt that. Inshort I am certain it doesn't. If it does, when did they collect it, record and harmonize it? They may have a database of apprehended suspects but I don't think that it's maintained or harmonized. I have applied for police clearance reports a couple times at the Police Criminal Registry in Alagbon and the verification was a charade. Just forget Naija, we never ready.

In other countries, govt has the info of folks coming into a country and leaving, where you live, what your phone number is, your bank accounts, what car you own, how many kids you have, who you are married to, who you have divorced lol... everything is tied to your identity number(SSN or SIN) and all these are harmonized and could be accessed(when authorized). They dont waste resources on population census because with such data know how many people are in their country, and resident in a city, and died at any given day.

We may not be as advanced as whom you compare Nigeria to but...

- BVN registration
- Drivers license registration
- Voters registration
- Sim registration
- National IDcard registration
- Call logs within the Area etc

The above listed can make the search very narrow..

It's rare having a Nigerian above 18 not fall into any of the category.
RIP UWA, what a horrible way to die..

RIP sweetheart,may all your killers be brought to book

Fingerprint was examined! How?

So said, bit I hope Nigerian police is not arresting an innocent person just to make it look like they are on top of the matter. The gruesome death of the victim can only be avenged by the arrest and persecution of the real culprit

I hope this is not an innocent person ooo Nigerian police

Pls police make sure none of them escape and pls don't just pick random people and force them to be confessing for crime they do not know anything we want to see the face of the bastard that killed this girl.
