First Nigerian Gold Medalist, Chioma Ajunwa Becomes Police DPO

Remember Chioma Ajunwa Opara, who became the first African

woman, as well as the first Nigerian, to win an Olympic gold medal in a track and field event?

Ajunwa emerged victorious in the women's long jump event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, with a jump of 7.12m (for her first attempt) during the final.

Chioma Ajunwa Opara, now 41 years, who was a Chief Superintendent of Police, before winning the long jump gold medal, was recently made the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Meran police station in Lagos.



Congratulations!
