Innovation :New Software To Track Criminals Developed By Former Deputy Governor Of Anambra

Anambra State, Dr. Chinedu Emeka, has developed a computer software that could be used to track criminals and check their activities in the country.
Emeka, who was deputy governor under Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju's administration, said he decided to embark on the research and develop the system as criminals were not being punished for offences committed.
Emeka, who just bagged a Phd in computer science from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, said if criminals were caught and punished, prospective criminals would have a rethink before venturing into crimes.
He said there was a need for a national data base of criminals, such as the one he developed, that would be easily accessible to security agencies in the country.

He called on government and private institutions to patronize the Ivory Towers when seeking for solutions to challenges such as provision of power supply, computer software, alternative raw materials/ enhancement of existing raw materials and staff training.
