The Delta State Government is gearing up to unveil a comprehensive Criminal Information System, a technology-driven database designed to capture biometric data and criminal records of offenders at every stage of the justice process.

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ekemejero Ohwovoriole, SAN, announced the initiative in Asaba during the fourth-quarter National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Law Officers Association of Nigeria (LOAN). 

He explained that the system will store fingerprints, eye colour, and full criminal profiles of individuals arraigned in court, awaiting trial, facing prosecution, convicted, sentenced, or held in correctional facilities.

According to him, the digital infrastructure, a key component of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, positions Delta State as one of the most technologically advanced justice ecosystems in Nigeria.

 He noted that the long-term implications will extend to background checks, employment screening, credit assessments, and passport processing.

“If you come into Delta State, don’t commit a crime. We will have your records forever,” he warned, adding that implementation has already begun and the system is expected to become fully operational within three months.

Earlier, the National President of LOAN, Comrade Ernest Edomwonyi, reaffirmed the pivotal role of law officers in sustaining national stability, shaping policy, prosecuting cases, safeguarding human rights, and resolving disputes. 

He called for sweeping reforms, including a unified salary structure for law officers nationwide, improved work environments, better research tools, regular capacity-building, equitable consideration for judicial appointments, and the elevation of law officers to permanent secretary positions.

Also speaking, the Chairman of LOAN, Delta State Chapter, Comrade Moses Agwere, described the NEC meeting as a strategic avenue to evaluate progress, address emerging challenges, and push for reforms that enhance the welfare and professional competence of law officers across the country.

Other speakers included the Head of Service, Dr. Mininim Oseji, and the Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Omamuzo Erebe, SAN.

The NEC meeting featured deliberations expected to influence policy directions for law officers and drive broader justice-sector reforms nationwide.
