Since 1980, Nigeria has been on the global crime map and crime rate in Nigeria has continued to increase since, recently, the rise in crime rates and the sophistication with which these crimes are been perpetrated have created a need for the study of forensic medicine as an alternative way of investigating crimes. The Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies still rely mainly on eye witness testimonies, circumstantial evidence, and confessions as a means of evidence which is ineffectual at best.

With the use of both primary and secondary data, this research explores the Medical laboratory science Perspective of Forensic Medicine in Nigeria.
