***As Corporal Juliet Wins Bantamweight Championship In Johannesburg, IGP Reiterates More Honours in all Areas
The Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has once again earned another outstanding honour and made the nation proud as one of its own, Corporal Juliet Chukwu, clinches the Bantamweight Championship title in an exhilarating display of skill and determination at the prestigious Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC119) held in Johannesburg, South Africa.
This remarkable achievement highlights the growing prowess of Nigerian athletes on the global stage and reinforces the Force’s commitment to excellence in all areas of sports.
The IGP reaffirms this commitment to ensuring Police excellence in sports, particularly in the rapidly evolving discipline of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
This commitment has been highlighted by the approval of the official introduction of MMA to the Force through the formation of the Nigeria Police MMA Association, the sponsorship of the 1st ever IGP MMA Open National Championship and Stakeholders Sensitization Seminar, and the approved demonstration of MMA at the 14th Biennial Police Games (BIPOGA) – Oluyole 2024.
The IGP has stated that the NPF will continue to support Corporal Juliet Chukwu and all police athletes on their journey to greatness, as the Force would keep on aiming to achieve more honours in several other areas.
Throughout the year, the Nigeria Police Force has recorded notable achievements in the area of personnel efficiency, effective crime-bursting, reform against corruption and now, in the aspect of sports.
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to organizational development and success, with several programs and initiatives emplaced towards this goal, even in the area of sports.
The Force is dedicated to nurturing talent and fostering an environment that encourages excellence for its officers in all endeavours.
