    REF:  A) STATE 189082    B)  01 LAGOS 1042

    SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED -- PROTECT ACCORDINGLY.

    1.(SBU) Introduction:  The USG's law enforcement program in
    Nigeria is dynamic and diverse, covering eight major areas:
    counter-narcotics; fighting financial fraud, particularly
    "419" advance-free fraud; immigration crimes; police
    modernization; anti-corruption; extradition, trafficking in
    persons, and money laundering.  Reflecting these priorities
    outlined in the Mission's Performance Plan (MPP) are the
    resources found in the presence at the Mission of DEA, FBI,
    USSS, DSS, DSS Anti-Fraud Unit, INL and, soon to be added,
    DOJ's ICITAP.  The INL program which began in earnest in
    February 2001 with the opening of the Regional Narcotics
    and Law Enforcement Office (RNLEO), provides funding for
    training and assistance projects to the Nigerian Government
    in collaboration with these USG law enforcement agencies.
    Per Ref A's guidance, law enforcement projects proposed tie
    together training, technical assistance and the provision
    of some equipment and material.

    2.(U) Regional Note:  Most of the USG law enforcement
    agencies' offices resident in the Mission have regional
    coverage, of varying scope and size.  While this LE
    assistance plan is for Nigeria, consideration for regional
    needs is addressed as much as possible, especially in the
    area of training, to foster greater cooperation within the
    West African sub-region.  Efforts will be made in
    particular to engage ECOWAS on a number of law enforcement
    and security issues such as Trafficking in Persons,
    Counter-Narcotics, and addressing the proliferation of
    small arms.

    The Framework:  Bilateral Law Enforcement Committee
    --------------------------------------------- ------

    3.(U) Advancement of USG law enforcement goals in Nigeria
    is accomplished through the U.S.-Nigeria Law Enforcement
    Committee, which met for the first time on November 9, 2001
    in Washington D.C..  The eight priority law enforcement
    areas identified in paragraph one are built into the agenda
    of this forum.  In a Joint Declaration signed at the
    conclusion of the Committee's first meeting, the GON agreed
    to take the following five steps by May 2002 (the next
    meeting of the Committee):

    -- introduce and seek to pass legislation to revise the
    1995 Money Laundering Act and create a financial
    intelligence unit to improve the fight against money
    laundering in line with FATF criteria;

    -- commence an investigation of at least one major Nigeria-
    based drug trafficker with the DEA;

    -- introduce and seek to pass legislation allowing for the
    civil forfeiture of assets derived from proceeds of
    organized crime and drug trafficking;

    -- commence extradition proceedings of individuals wanted
    for prosecution by the U.S. Government; and

    -- give the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related
    Offenses Commission (ICPC) all necessary resources to
    launch criminal cases against high-level officials accused
    of corruption.

    4.(U) In return, the USG pledged to provide expanded
    assistance and training to GON law enforcement agencies and
    the Central Bank of Nigeria in the areas of counter-
    narcotics, money laundering, financial fraud, police
    reform, trafficking in persons, immigration crimes,
    corruption and extradition.  This includes:

    -- assistance in the fields of information technology,
    controlled drug deliveries, financial and assets
    investigations, and criminal records management;

    --collaboration with the NDLEA in the upgrading of the
    NDLEA's training academy;

    --activities to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement
    agencies; and

    -- efforts to increase international law enforcement
    exchanges.

    The Nigerian Players
    ------------------------
    5.(U) Caveat: Lagos vs. Abuja.  The bulk of operational law
    enforcement units addressing organized crime remains in
    Lagos, West Africa's largest urban center and the hub of
    organized crime for the country.   That said, a number of
    senior law enforcement managers, formerly resident in
    Lagos, have made the transition to Abuja, though some
    maintain offices in Lagos and commute between the two
    cities.

    6.(SBU) The Attorney General's Office/Ministry of Justice.
    The late Attorney General, Bola Ige, was the Mission's
    primary counterpart for law enforcement policy issues and
    we expect the new AG to follow in this role.  All proposed
    criminal laws are drafted by the AG's office (e.g. the new
    revised Money Laundering Act and new Financial Crimes
    Commission Act) and all extradition requests flow through
    this office.  Federal prosecutions are under the AG's
    control, and the Solicitor General, Mrs. T.A. Osinuga,
    handles this caseload.  The new Attorney General will also
    oversees the NDLEA, as did the late Attorney General.

    7.(SBU) The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
    Established in 1989, this is the Nigerian Government's sole
    counter-narcotics agency.  Staffed by over 3,500 constables
    and officers, the NDLEA is spread over 28 zones, with a
    particular emphasis on interdicting narcotics at air- and
    sea ports and international land borders.  It remains
    headquartered in Lagos and its Chairman, Bello Lafiaji,
    answers to the Attorney General in Abuja.  The NDLEA is not
    part of the Nigerian Police Force.  This is DEA's sole
    counter-part and its partner in a growing bilateral drug
    enforcement and counter-narcotics assistance relationship.

    8.(SBU) Nigerian Customs Service (NCS).  Widely regarded as
    the most corrupt of Nigeria's law enforcement agencies, the
    NCS has as its official mandate the collection of
    exorbitant duties from imports.  Unlike other nations'
    Customs Services, the NCS does not view drug interdiction
    as part of its mandate.  It is not a significant partner in
    USG law enforcement cooperation and is not a recipient of
    USG assistance.

    9.(SBU) Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).  Responsible
    for all emigration/immigration controls at major
    international entry and exit points, the NIS has been
    engaged by the DS Anti-Fraud Unit at Post in an attempt to
    improve the interdiction of U.S.-bound illegal aliens and
    to confiscate fraudulent USG identity and immigration
    documents.  NIS personnel have the power to detain and
    arrest suspects but cannot arraign or prosecute (the Police
    must be called in for criminal prosecution).

    10.(SBU) Ministry of Justice/Department of Public
    Prosecutions (DPP).  Under the Attorney General and
    Minister of Justice, the DPP is responsible for prosecuting
    cases in the Federal High Court of Nigeria (though the vast
    majority of criminal cases, involving minor offenses, are
    prosecuted by police officers). The main USG interest in
    working with this office is the development of a functional
    extradition process to submit Nigerian fugitives from USG
    justice to U.S. courts for trial.  The DPP has only 20
    prosecutors for this country of 120 million people.

    11.(SBU) Special Assistant to the President for TIP and
    Child Labor.  This position, established in mid-2001, was
    created to coordinate the GON's response to the
    international TIP problem.  The incumbent, Mike Mku, is
    also attempting to coordinate foreign donors' assistance to
    Nigeria for anti-trafficking projects.

    12.(SBU) The National Security Advisor (NSA) to the
    President.  The NSA, retired LTG Aliyu Muhammed, serves as
    the President's right-hand man on security and law
    enforcement matters.  While not usually involved in the
    routine execution of law enforcement policy, he has taken
    the lead on special high-priority issues such as money
    laundering in the post-September 11 era.  He acts on the
    President's authority in ordering or coordinating law
    enforcement actions or changes in policy.

    13.(SBU) The Ministry for Police Affairs (MPA).  This
    Ministry was recreated by President Obasanjo to oversee the
    management of the NPF after being eliminated at the outset
    of the Abacha regime in 1994.  It ostensibly controls the
    NPF's budget and supervises the Inspector General of Police
    (IGP).  The last Minister for Police Affairs, however, did
    not enjoy a cooperative relationship with the IGP, who
    continues to use his direct channel to the President
    liberally.  As it serves largely as a policy shop, the
    MPA's staff is small and is not set up to run programs.
    The Mission interacts regularly with the MPA --
    particularly with regard to the Police Reform cited below -
    - but there are no projects directly specifically at the
    Ministry.

    14.(SBU) The State Security Services (SSS).  This
    intelligence and security agency is responsible for
    safeguarding the country against foreign and domestic
    terrorism and other national security threats.  It has
    sweeping powers and operates throughout the country,
    answering only to the Office of the Presidency, through the
    National Security Advisor.  The Mission occasionally deals
    with SSS on law enforcement matters such as terrorism
    financing and particular criminal investigations.

    The Nigerian Police Force (NPF)
    -------------------------------

    15.(SBU) The NPF is headed by the Inspector General of
    Police (IGP), Musiliu Smith, who ostensibly reports to the
    Minister for Police Affairs, but in practice has a direct
    line to the President.  Under the IGP's command are seven
    Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs) -- the senior DIG and six
    DIGs who oversee six Departments of the NPF --
    Administration (Department A); Operations (Department B);
    Logistics (Department C); Criminal Investigations
    Department--CID (Department D); Training (Department E);
    and Research and Planning (Department F).

    16.(SBU) Operations (Department B).  This department is the
    largest in the NPF, managing the basic law-and-order
    deployment of police units on the street and the Mobile
    Police (MOPOL), the NPF's "elite" force to deal with
    violent crime, dignitary protection, and crisis situations.
    The U.S. Mission relies on this Department for the security
    of USG personnel and facilities and protection of visiting
    U.S. dignitaries.  The U.S. business community also relies
    on MOPOL for protection.  MOPOL has its own training
    facility -- separate from that of the main police force --
    in Goza, near Maiduguri in the northeastern state of Borno.
    Though no assistance is currently planned for MOPOL
    personnel, the Mission hopes to include MOPOL in future
    civil disorder management training.

    17.(SBU) Criminal Investigations Department (Department D).
    This is by far the most important Department in terms of
    USG law enforcement interests.  USG LEAs are in contact
    with its sub-entities on a daily basis, as it includes:
    the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) responsible for fighting "419"
    advance-fee fraud; the INTERPOL liaison office responsible
    for dealing with all foreign law enforcement liaison; the
    Forensics Laboratory; and the Trafficking in Persons Task
    Force.  Currently, all four of these units reside in Lagos,
    though the INTERPOL liaison office may soon move to Abuja.
    Project proposals contained in this assistance plan affect
    all four of these units.

    18.(SBU) Training (Department E).  The Training Department,
    managed by DIG Baba Ahmadu, runs four basic recruit Police
    Training Colleges (Ikeja/Lagos, Maiduguri, Enugu, and
    Kaduna), five smaller schools for new constable recruits,
    the Officer Training Academy in Kano, and a mid-level
    officer training Staff College in Jos.  The Police Reform
    Program to begin in March 2002 is designed to foster broad
    strategic reforms through the initial provision to this
    Department of a small model training program for new
    recruits in the four Police Colleges.  Senior and mid-level
    management training of NPF officers will also be provided
    at both the Jos Staff College and the Kano Officer Academy.

    19.(SBU) State Police units.  Although the Nigerian
    constitution does not allow for state or local police
    forces, many governors have constituted de facto state
    police units through the back door.  This has been done by
    governors' funding of particular groups of federal police
    to provide enhanced security functions at the state level.
    When funded largely or wholly by a State government these
    police units become beholden to the state governor, though
    still ostensibly a part of the federal police force.  A
    good example of this growing trend is the Rapid Response
    Squad (RRS) in Lagos State -- a unit of 700 police set up
    by Governor Bola Tinubu.  Vehicles, fuel and daily stipends
    are funded out of the Lagos State treasury.  Similar units
    have appeared in Rivers, Kaduna, and Oyo states.  The
    Mission has provided training and modest equipment to the
    Lagos RRS to assist it in attacking violent organized crime
    in the city.

    ------------------------------------------
    Proposed Projects of INL's Nigeria Program
    ------------------------------------------

    20.(U) The following breaks down the Mission's law
    enforcement plan into projects addressing each of the eight
    major law enforcement areas, along with specific projects
    and training activities tied to each objective.

    Counter-Narcotics
    ------------------

    21.(SBU) During the past year, INL resources (FY99-
    $150,000; FY00-$350,000) were used to provide the NDLEA
    with new vehicles, repair existing vehicles in the NDLEA
    fleet, provide communications equipment for key units
    assigned to the Lagos air- and sea-ports, and drug
    detection scanners to improve interdiction efforts at
    airports in Lagos, Abuja and Kano.  Additionally,
    assistance planned from FY01 funds ($150,000) will assist
    the NDLEA Academy in Jos with training-related equipment
    and USG-provided training.  A DEA course in basic drug
    enforcement skills (DEA-01) funded in FY00 will be
    implemented in mid-2002 to support the NDLEA Academy.
    Similarly, a DEA course on Airport Interdiction (DEA-05)
    will be implemented in mid-2002 to support NDLEA airport
    units assisted by INL-provided equipment (a FY00 project).

    22.(SBU) Targeting Major Traffickers.  FY02: $200,000 for
    telephone intercept equipment.  The NDLEA has been assisted
    with basic drug enforcement resources through previous INL
    funding (vehicles, communications gear, drug detection
    equipment).  This new FY02 project will provide the NDLEA's
    Joint Task Force's with cellular phone intercept equipment,
    which will boost the Joint Task Force's ability to
    investigate major drug traffickers in cooperation with DEA.
    An offering of U.S. Customs course USCS-01 (Overseas
    Enforcement Training Program--OET) is proposed for FY02
    funding to improve the skills of the NDLEA investigators in
    the Joint Task Force.  RNLEO and DEA will monitor and
    report on the use and effectiveness of the equipment and
    training.

    23.(SBU) Improving Interdiction Efforts.  FY02: $50,000 for
    a DEA Airport Interdiction Course.  Continuing with
    implementation of the INL-funded effort to improve the
    NDLEA's interdiction efforts at the Lagos air- and sea -
    ports, DEA will provide an additional offering of the
    course - DEA-05 - on Airport Interdiction Skills.  RNLEO
    and DEA will continue to monitor, through scheduled visits
    and surprise spot checks, the effectiveness of USG-assisted
    NDLEA interdiction efforts at Murtala Muhammed
    International Airport in Lagos.

    Police Reform
    -------------

    25.(SBU) FY02: $1.1 million.  Building on demonstration
    projects begun in FY2002 with FY01 INL and ESF funds and
    implemented by ICITAP, additional projects to: 1) improve
    the NPF's forensic analytical capabilities ($300,000); 2)
    strengthen the currently weak cooperation between police
    investigators and state-level public prosecutors
    ($200,000); and 3) provide Civil Disorder Management and
    specific conflict resolution training to special police
    units (e.g. the Rapid Response Squad in Kaduna) in order to
    improve the NPF's capacity to contain election-related
    violence in key violence-prone urban areas (e.g. Kano,
    Kaduna, Jos, Makurdi).  Both activities are high priorities
    designated by GON policy-makers.  $150,000 in funding will
    be used to provide equipment to CDM units trained.

    26.(U) This funding will extend the ICITAP-implemented
    Police assistance program to begin in March 2002.  RNLEO
    and ICITAP Project Manager (PM) will monitor progress and
    effectiveness of this project and report regularly to INL.
    A detail proposal will be sent to INL/AAE separately via e-
    mail.

    27.(SBU) FY02--$200,000 in related training.  The Police
    Reform Program will be complemented by FBI-provided
    training in three specialized investigative courses and a
    training-of-trainers (TOT) activity.  The three
    investigative courses are: 1) FBI-XX: Investigating Serious
    Crimes (Homicide); 2) FBI-XX: Interview and Interrogation;
    and 3) FBI-XX: Surveillance Techniques.  The training-of-
    trainers activity will be coordinated with the ICITAP
    Police Reform Program Manager to best support ongoing
    training assistance to police institutions.  Each course
    and the TOT activity is estimated to cost $50,000.  RNLEO
    and ICITAP Project Manager (PM) would monitor and report on
    the effectiveness of this training.

    Fighting "419" Advance-Fee Fraud
    --------------------------------

    28.(SBU) FY02: $100,000 for a technical assistance project
    on asset forfeiture and $100,000 for related USSS training.
    Building on FY00 provision of vehicles and equipment
    ($185,000) and FY01 advanced computer forensics training
    ($79,700) to the NPF's Special Fraud Unit and INTERPOL
    office to enhance operations against 419 fraud operators in
    the Lagos area, this project seeks to make those operations
    more effective through the systematic seizure and ultimate
    forfeiture of criminal assets of 419 organizations.
    Working with the SFU, a USSS technical advisor will help
    design a program for the tracking of assets and, with the
    cooperation of the Attorney General's office, will assist
    the NPF in the drafting of new legislation to allow for the
    speedy forfeiture of these assets.  Complementing this
    technical assistance will be a regional training seminar on
    financial crimes for police and Central Bank investigators
    sponsored by the West African Institute for Financial and
    Economic Management (WAIFEM) and Central Bank
    investigators.  Also, a USSS course on Combating Economic
    Fraud and Counterfeiting (USSS-01) and a customized USSS
    training activity, an Anti-Counterfeiting Technical
    Assistance Initiative (USSS-03) will be provided to NPF
    anti-fraud investigators.  All of these training efforts
    directly support the ongoing INL-project to strengthen the
    capacity of the NPF and other investigative forces in the
    region to attack 419 and other forms of financial fraud.

    Anti-Corruption
    ---------------

    29.(SBU) DOJ's Office of Overseas Prosecutorial
    Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT) will begin
    implementation of a $445,000 (FY01 ESF) project to provide
    investigative and prosecutorial training and technical
    assistance to the GON's Independent Corrupt Practices and
    Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) in April 2002.  A
    follow-on proposal to provide the ICPC with a Training-of-
    Trainers (TOT) project has been proposed with FY2002 ESF
    funds.  This will give the ICPC a sustainable capacity to
    train new personnel planned for hiring in late 2002 and
    beyond.

    Combating Trafficking in Persons (TIP)
    --------------------------------------

    30.(U)  No FY02 INL funds are anticipated for anti-TIP
    purposes.  $200,000 in FY01 INL funds will be devoted to
    support the NPF's Anti-TIP Task Force and sensitization
    training for NPF personnel involved in fighting TIP crimes.
    Additionally, $300,000 is requested in G/TIP funds for
    investigative and prosecutorial training, through OPDAT and
    ICITAP, for NPF and MOJ/DPP investigators and prosecutors.

    Money-Laundering
    ----------------

    31.(SBU) FY02: $200,000.  The GON's proposed Financial
    Crimes Commission is expected to start operating later in
    CY2002.  This commission will have full investigative,
    arrest and prosecutorial powers to address money laundering
    and other financial crimes and will be under the Office of
    the President.  This project will provide technical
    assistance ($125,000) in the form of USG money laundering
    experts sent to Nigeria on extended TDYs to assist the
    Commission with implementing effective regulations and will
    assist the new Commission with modest equipment ($75,000).

    Immigration Crimes
    ------------------

    ¶32. FY02: $100,000 in equipment for NIS Anti-Fraud Unit and
    $50,000 for DS Anti-fraud course.  A draft MOU governing
    the role of U.S. INS agents working at the Lagos
    international airport and the GON's commitment to fighting
    immigration fraud emerged from recent bilateral
    discussions, particularly the November 9, 2001 meeting of
    the Bilateral LE Committee.  Included in the MOU is mention
    of agreed upon USG assistance to the NIS in fighting
    immigration fraud committed by Nigerian nationals
    attempting to board US-bound flights.  INS agents stationed
    TDY at the Lagos airport will work closely with the new NIS
    anti-fraud unit to interdict malafide passengers attempting
    to embark on flights to the U.S.  This project will provide
    modest equipment -- specifically fraudulent document
    detection scanners -- and a DS training course (DS-01:
    International Travel Document Fraud) for NIS investigators
    and airline security personnel to support this joint
    effort.
