Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has sent a strong message to officers representing the Nigeria Police Force in various sporting events.
Disu paid an unscheduled visit to the Police team participating in the 3rd Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs (CGC) Volleyball Premier League in Abuja, where he watched them secure an emphatic victory.
The Inspector-General pledged increased investment in sports development within the Nigeria Police Force, promising greater support for volleyball and other sporting associations.
His remarks came after the Police team defeated Sunshine Spikers in straight sets, 3-0 (25-20, 25-11, 25-14), with a dominant display. Disu commended the players for their determination, discipline and resilience despite operating with limited training resources, per NVBF.
He said: “You have seen the tenacity of a policeman in action. I am so happy to have been here today, and they have made me so happy. “They have done so well. How else can I honour them? By owning the sport and sponsoring it. Definitely, we will do something like this, not only for volleyball but for judo and every other sport.”
The Police chief also assured the athletes that the Force would continue to motivate and support them by providing the resources needed to compete successfully at the highest level.
He added: “I can’t be the Inspector-General of Police and my men are doing well and not looking forward to the future. I will endeavour to ensure that I encourage them. How do I encourage them? By giving them everything that we know.”
