Compol Does Know About Forgery Accusation Against OJ |

In July we reported that the General Legal Council, which is responsible for complaints the public makes against attorneys, had found OJ Elrington guilty of professional misconduct, and fined him $15,000 dollars - $5,000 of which must go to his former client, Pastor Dozie.
But, two weeks ago, Dozie wrote a letter of complaint to the commissioner saying he was being denied a copy of his police report.
This is because he is pursuing criminal forgery charges against Elrington. That's after the GLC expressed concern about the authenticity of a document allegedly signed by his client that Elrington entered as evidence. They said they would send it to the police to determine whether Pastor Dozie's signature was forged.
When we spoke with the Compol today he said he had not seen the alleged forgery or the letter from Dozie:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I am not aware of pastor Dosey filing any report I know Dosey personally. Him and I joined police together he was my squad brother and when the thing initially happened he had came to me and I advised him to go to the general legal counsel which he did in terms of there being any criminal liability on the path of the attorney with respect to that matter I am not sure I see more a matter of a client and attorney misconduct. None the less if Me Dosey feels that there is something criminal there we are willing to look at it put that file together and send to the DPP and seek legal advice on the matter. I am not aware at this time though of there being any complaints officially filed by him I know I received a letter on my desk from him on Friday of Last week where he is asking for the police to conduct a criminal investigation into the matter I had referred that letter to the head of national crimes investigation branch for them to look at it if there is a need to get a statement from me if one has not yet been obtained that will be done and then the investigation will go from there."
