UGHELLI – The Commander of the operatives of the Delta State Commissioner of police “Special Assignment Team” (CP-SAT), ASP Julius Robinson, has been named the only African police officer featured in the Who’s Who Africa Bibliographical Compendium 2025, a prestigious publication of the Pan-African Magazine Time Africa.
The recognition places Robinson among influential personalities making significant contributions to security, governance, and public welfare across the continent.
On 14 November 2025, Robinson received a 300-page copy of the compendium from Time Africa Magazine at the Nigeria National Merit Awards House in Abuja. At the same event, he was honoured as Africa’s Most Outstanding Policeman of the Year.
ASP Robinson’s remarkable journey is rooted in resilience and discipline. Born on 20 October 1974 in Kaduna State and raised in the Imburu community of Numan LGA in Adamawa State, he endured the early loss of both parents. This experience shaped his character and strengthened his resolve to serve society.
His academic background reflects a strong pursuit of excellence. After attending LEA Primary School in Kaduna, Robinson completed his secondary education in Jos and Yola. He later obtained a Diploma in Common Law from the University of Maiduguri and a Postgraduate Degree in Cybersecurity from Novena University, Ogume. These qualifications equipped him to tackle the increasingly complex challenges of modern policing, intelligence work, and digital security.
Robinson enlisted in the Nigeria Police Force on 4 January 1999 after completing training at the Police College, Maiduguri. He has since served in critical units, including the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, Minna; State Intelligence Bureau; Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad; Cybercrime Units; and the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team.
Through these roles, he has developed deep expertise in intelligence gathering, investigations, and crime prevention.
His operational achievements include breakthroughs in the recovery of illegal arms and the dismantling of inter-state kidnapping and robbery syndicates across Kogi, Rivers, Enugu, Anambra, Edo, and Delta States.
His record highlights disciplined planning, tactical capability, and a steadfast commitment to public safety.
Robinson’s professional development includes international training in Israel—where he completed a Basic Intelligence Course on Security/Election Management and VIP Protection—and in California, USA, where he trained as an Intelligence Analyst.
These programmes enhanced his analytical acumen and broadened his operational insight.
His career is decorated with numerous awards, including the Security Watch Africa Triple Award, the Crime Buster of the Year 2023 from the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria, and a Commendation Letter from the Inspector-General of Police. He is also a member of the International Association of Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analysts (IALEA), underscoring his commitment to global standards in policing and intelligence.
It would be recalled that since ASP Julius Robinson has been deployed to Ughelli the administrative headquarters of Ughelli North local government area of Delta State with the matching order to arrest criminal elements disturbing residents of Ughelli North, South, Udu, Uvwie, Sapele, Ethiope East & West and their environs the rate of crime has been reduced.
