Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police revealed that despite the fact that they won gold medal, they should not hesitate to continue to keep fit because it is good for the health.

His words, “Exercise is good for your health, it makes you keep fit. Even doctors will prescribe it for you. So it is not all about winning but also keeping fit and you need to keep fit for you to do Police work.”

Meanwhile, the triumphant Area Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Lekan Odumosu said the welfare of the players is paramount and they have already started catering for their needs.

ACP Odumosu also disclosed that they are going to beef up the team so that they can compete favourably with other teams and return with the trophy at stake.
