Does this cover ALL areas lived in Nigeria. For example, if the applicant has lived in Lagos AND in Port Harcourt, will the request submitted to the Deputy Inspector generate a police record for both areas? Does anyone know??

Yes it covers the whole of Nigeria, you just need to make a request to police HQ at Alagbon. My dad is getting mine for me tomorrow and they say he could pick it up the same day. It costs N5000 but then if you know Nigeria then you know it all depends on who you know there and how much they will take under the table for it. I could put him in touch with someone if it comes to that though.
