In an era where intelligence defines the strength of national security, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Stanley Kwaphoor, FCID Area 10, Abuja, has emerged as one of Nigeria’s most outstanding security professionals, earning the prestigious title of Outstanding Security Personality of the Year 2025 at the International Security Conference and Awards (ISCA) organized by the International Institute of Professional Security (IIPS).
The ISCA Awards, widely acclaimed as Africa’s foremost platform for security excellence, continue to honour individuals and institutions whose vision, professionalism, and innovation are redefining the continent’s security architecture and advancing the frontiers of ethical leadership and operational transformation.
The high-profile event, held at the Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja, brought together elite security experts, policymakers, and law enforcement commanders under the thought-provoking theme, “Intelligence in Hard- and Soft-Target Hardening.” The focus of the conference underscored the growing importance of human intelligence, proactive threat analysis, and inter-agency coordination in neutralizing both physical and cyber threats that challenge national peace and stability.
Against this backdrop, CSP Stanley Kwaphoor was recognized for his remarkable contributions to intelligence-driven policing, investigative excellence, and operational coordination within the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID). His leadership at the Area 10 Command has redefined the functional balance between intelligence gathering and tactical response — a model now studied and commended across several divisions of the Nigeria Police Force.
Security observers at the event described him as “a cerebral tactician and a disciplined reformer” whose operational philosophy emphasizes strategic foresight, evidence-based decision-making, and ethical command leadership. Through his coordination, the FCID Area 10 unit has recorded numerous breakthroughs in high-profile case investigations, intelligence dissemination, and crime-prevention strategies anchored on community trust.
Speaking at the event, representatives of the International Institute of Professional Security (IIPS) commended CSP Kwaphor’s leadership approach, noting that his work embodies the very essence of modern intelligence architecture — combining analytical precision with human understanding.
They described his recognition as “a reflection of operational excellence and ethical discipline,” reaffirming that the future of policing lies in the fusion of technology, intelligence, and human capital development.
For CSP Stanley Kwaphoor, this latest recognition is not merely a ceremonial honour but an endorsement of his strategic vision for policing in the intelligence era — where foresight, collaboration, and civic partnership define the future of national safety.
As the applause echoed through the Nicon Luxury ballroom, one message was unmistakable: Nigeria’s security future will depend not only on force but on the intelligence and integrity of officers like CSP Stanley Kwaphoor — men who combine knowledge, courage, and conscience in the service of national peace.
