The Nigeria Police Force will make its
first appearance in the Biennial World Police and Fire Games in the 2013
edition of the Games, taking place in Belfast, Northern Ireland between
August 1 and 10.
The NPF contingent will feature in eight
events, including athletics, badminton, boxing, cycling, golf, judo,
table-tennis and taekwondo.
A 34-man contingent of the Force, made
up of 28 athletes and six officials, led by the Force Planning Committee
Chairman, Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Macaulay, departed the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Monday for Northern
Ireland. The contingent is expected back in the country on August 14.
A statement by the Deputy Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba in Abuja on Wednesday stated that the
Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, urged the contingent to
be good ambassadors of not just the Nigeria Police, but the entire
nation.
“He enjoined them to conduct themselves
creditably throughout their stay in Belfast, and further warned them to
distance themselves from drugs, as any athlete caught doping will be
dealt with accordingly,” it added.
