ASP Justina Amah of the Nigeria Police Force won gold, silver, and bronze medals at the February 2026 Delta Police Games, emerging as the top performer. Representing Enugu State, Amah has built a strong record in police sporting events, with 8 gold medals in Karate, 4 gold in other disciplines, alongside 8 silver and 8 bronze medals over her career. Her performance in Delta reinforced her status as one of the Force's most decorated athletes. Beyond sports, she was named the Ica & Sons Books Most Disciplined Police Woman in Camp in 2023, a recognition of her conduct on and off duty. Colleagues and observers have urged the police leadership to consider her for promotion and special recognition, citing her achievements as a source of pride for the Force. Amah, originally from Ozalla in Igboetiti LGA, continues to inspire both within the police service and among young athletes across the country.
A police officer winning medals is not new, but ASP Justina Amah's sustained excellence over years—and across disciplines—sets her apart in a system where recognition often favours visibility over merit. Her 20 medals, including 12 golds, reflect a level of commitment rarely matched within the ranks. That she was already named Most Disciplined Police Woman in 2023 adds weight to calls for her advancement. For a force often criticised for stagnation, promoting Amah would signal that achievement in service, not just in appearance, can lead to reward.
