By Genesis Ogiri, Abuja

ABUJA — In a compelling tribute to professionalism, discipline, and leadership excellence, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Langyi Lar Lakur, B.Sc, MIIPS, MCAL, PHA, the gallant and cerebral Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Karu Division, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, has been decorated with the prestigious title of Distinguished Security Personality of the Year 2025 by the International Institute of Professional Security (IIPS).

The award ceremony, which formed part of the International Security Conference and Awards (ISCA 2025), held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the prestigious Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja, brought together a constellation of Nigeria’s most accomplished security practitioners, policymakers, and institutional heads.

Held under the theme, “Intelligence in Hard- and Soft-Target Hardening,” the conference underscored the necessity of intelligence-led strategies, adaptive resilience, and inter-agency collaboration in addressing the evolving security landscape across Nigeria and the African region.

At the glamorous event, CSP Langyi Lar Lakur stood out like a polished diamond — a symbol of courage refined by intellect, authority tempered by humility, and leadership built on service. The IIPS Governing Council conferred the honour in recognition of his distinguished attainments in industrial security, exemplary professional ethics, and outstanding record in intelligence-driven policing and community safety management.

Renowned across policing circles as a disciplined tactician and reform-driven officer, CSP Lakur’s leadership at Karu Division has become a model of what modern policing should embody — proactive intelligence, community trust, operational excellence, and unshakeable integrity. His command style blends technical precision with human empathy, reflecting a rare balance between enforcement and enlightenment.

A trained security scholar and seasoned administrator, CSP Lakur commands deep respect within the Nigeria Police Force for his operational intelligence, strategic foresight, and crisis management acumen. Over the years, he has distinguished himself as a strong advocate of community-oriented policing, promoting synergy between law enforcement and civil society in maintaining peace and security.

His leadership at the Karu Division of the FCT Police Command exemplifies the ideals of modern policing — accountability, compassion, and competence — attributes that continue to strengthen public trust and professional discipline within the Force.

The ISCA 2025 Awards once again underscored the transformative influence of ethical leadership in the security sector. Observers at the event described CSP Lakur’s recognition as “a fitting testament to a career defined by intellect, integrity, and unwavering commitment to national service.”

Receiving the honour amidst thunderous applause and ovation, CSP Langyi Lar Lakur expressed profound gratitude to the International Institute of Professional Security (IIPS) for the recognition, dedicating the award to his colleagues, subordinates, and the wider security community whose silent sacrifices uphold national peace.

“This award is a reminder that true policing is service anchored on purpose, not power. I dedicate this recognition to every officer and operative who continues to serve with integrity, courage, and devotion to national peace. We will continue to strengthen intelligence-led policing as the backbone of Nigeria’s security transformation,” he declared.

The ISCA Awards, hosted annually by IIPS, has earned its place as Africa’s foremost platform for recognizing excellence and innovation in the global security profession. The 2025 edition reaffirmed the importance of ethical leadership, capacity development, and sustained collaboration between public security agencies and private sector stakeholders.

Officials of the International Institute of Professional Security extolled CSP Langyi Lar Lakur as “a paragon of professional virtue, a guardian of law, and a credible voice in the evolution of modern policing in Nigeria.”

Beyond his operational accomplishments, CSP Lakur’s career reflects an unwavering commitment to knowledge, discipline, and institutional transformation. A scholar-officer by training and an institution-builder by temperament, he has championed capacity-building initiatives, promoted intelligence synergy, and fostered a policing culture rooted in accountability and community partnership.

As the echoes of applause lingered in the grand ballroom of the Nicon Luxury Hotel, one sentiment resonated deeply — CSP Langyi Lar Lakur represents the new face of policing in Nigeria: a leader guided by wisdom, strengthened by integrity, and sustained by purpose.


Indeed, his recognition as Distinguished Security Personality of the Year 2025 stands not merely as an award, but as a national acknowledgment of honour earned, service proven, and excellence sustained.
