In 1955, twenty women walked through a door that had never been opened before.
On 13 October 2026, history was made when IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu served as Chief Launcher in Port Harcourt for “The Origin of Police Women in Nigeria.” The book, authored by Dame Stella O. Okuyiga, DCP (Rtd.), one of the original twenty women who joined the Force in 1955, fills an important gap in the record.
After seventy-one years, the story of one extraordinary woman is finally in print.
The IGP recalled meeting Dame Okuyiga while serving as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, when she shared her commitment to completing this work. He remembered that conversation.
On 13 October 2026, he ensured the book’s launch took place.
He described the publication as an important contribution to institutional memory and a record of courage that must be preserved. He emphasized that women serving today in investigation, intelligence, tactical operations, and leadership build on the legacy of those who came before them.
Our Mummy (Dame Okuyiga) expressed deep fulfillment, knowing her story will be preserved in Police libraries and training institutions, inspiring future generations of officers.
Mummy (Dame Stella Okuyiga), you joined a Force that had never before welcomed a woman in uniform.
You stayed. You served. You documented it all.
Because of your example, future women in the Force will never question whether they belong.
