You can, and probably should, though it takes longer to get (about a week, instead of same- or next-day) and costs more (up to 3-5x as much, depending on your haggling skills) if you do it outside Lagos. As I understand it, all police certificates are processed at the Alagbon office in Lagos. If you apply for one elsewhere, they still have to send it to Alagbon.

So the decision is to go to Lagos or not, and one should make that decision based on the urgency of your case and the cost to travel to Lagos.

Do you know the time frame to get the certificate from the Alagbon office in Lagos?
