Abstract
As the rate of crime in Nigeria is on the increase
with criminals going unpunished due to lack of adequate evidence and eye
witnesses, it is imperative to seek an alternative assistance, robust enough to
tie criminals to their crimes. Forensic science is the application of science
and technology to investigate criminal acts. Application of forensic in
combating crime in Nigeria has been underplayed. The aim of this article is to
bring to awareness, the importance of forensic science and technology and how
it could be applied in Nigerian to combat crime.
