While speaking on the importance of Forensic Science, the commissioner noted that the introduction of Forensic Science to the Criminal Justice Administration has enhanced police investigations, and facilitated speedy identification and conviction of perpetrators of crime and also helped in the exoneration of innocent persons.
Onigbanjo said: “Lagos State Government recognizes the importance of forensic analysis, which led to the establishment of Lagos State DNA & Forensic Center (LSD&FC) to support investigations conducted by the Nigeria Police and other law enforcement agencies.”
He said: “The Centre was commissioned in September 2017 while the Lagos State Forensic Biology/ DNA unit and the DNA Database and Matching system attained ISO 17025:2017 accreditation in February 2019.”
