The Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Ikoyi, Lagos, has stepped up efforts to combat transnational financial crimes through a strategic engagement with the Head of Mission at the Taipei Trade Office, Andy Yih-Ping Liu.
Commissioner of Police, PSFU, CP Eloho Edwin Okpoziakpo, led the meeting, which focused on fostering stronger collaboration in tackling cross-border fraud and related offences.
According to the PSFU, the engagement highlighted the growing need for international cooperation in addressing transnational fraud, particularly as Taiwan’s expanding investment environment increasingly attracts sophisticated fraud syndicates.
Discussions at the meeting centred on improving intelligence sharing, enhancing investigative coordination, and developing joint strategies to combat financial crimes that cut across national borders.
Speaking during the visit, Liu expressed appreciation for the initiative and reaffirmed the Taipei Trade Office’s readiness to collaborate closely with the PSFU. He noted the importance of information exchange, capacity building, and mutual support in preventing and investigating fraud-related crimes.
Okpoziakpo, in his remarks, stressed that global partnerships are critical in addressing the evolving nature of financial crimes.
“No single jurisdiction can effectively combat transnational crimes in isolation,” he said, adding that the PSFU remains committed to proactive investigations and sustained collaboration with international partners to disrupt criminal networks and protect legitimate investments.
The engagement is part of ongoing efforts by the PSFU to strengthen international alliances in the fight against financial crimes.
