The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has hailed Nigeria Police Force multi-dexterous Combat Athlete, Juliet Ukah, for a successful training tour and her victory over South Africa’s Crystal Wyk to win the Extreme Fighting Championship 102.

“Recruited into the Force in 2018, the talented Constable has continued to show tremendous promise, broad skills, and passion for excellence over the years, conquering the boxing, kickboxing and now MMA world of Nigeria and Africa.

“With this feat, PC Juliet Ukah, who now has an unbeaten streak after four professional fights (4 wins – 0 loss – 0 draw), is the African EFC Champion and the No. 1 contender for the World EFC Female Strawweight Title Belt.

“The Inspector-General of Police congratulates the officer for the feat and acknowledges the contributions of the Nigeria Police Force to sports development in the country.
