NIGERIA POLICE FORCE CELEBRATES POLICE ATHLETE EZEKIEL NATHANIEL'S COMMONWEALTH 400M HURDLES GOLD, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO INSTITUTIONAL SPORTS AND PERSONNEL WELFARE

The Nigeria Police Force expresses profound pride and delight over the historic gold medal victory of corporal Ezekiel Nathaniel, at the ongoing Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Nathaniel delivered a commanding performance on Friday night, dominating the men's 400 metres hurdles final to cross the finish line in 48.47 seconds and claim the Commonwealth crown. His victory represents a remarkable progression from his sixth-place finish at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, underscoring the grit, tactical discipline and relentless determination characteristic of personnel of the Nigeria Police Force.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Riliwan Disu, psc (+), NPM commends corporal Nathaniel for flying both the national and Force flags high on the international stage, noting that his performance serves as an example of excellence to officers across all commands.

The Force Leadership described the victory as the outcome of structured institutional backing, noting that Nathaniel's success aligns with the IGP's Strategic Agenda on Police Sports Development, Personnel Welfare and Capacity Building. Under the current leadership, the Force continues to prioritise the discovery, nurturing and support of athletic talent within its ranks, with sports maintained as a fundamental pillar of tactical fitness, institutional morale and positive youth engagement nationwide.

The Inspector-General of Police, on behalf of the management, officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, warmly congratulates corporal Nathaniel on this achievement and wishes him continued success in his sporting career.
