Subject of article is about a supposed police officer who is also “the first ever professor” in Nigerian law enforcement but even the references provided in article (of which only two non notable blogs discuss him) this claim is said to be spurious. Article is also very gossipy. Celestina007 (talk) 12:12, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't think this article should be deleted as i had to gather some of these information through independent sourced. The article is not gossipy and other notable sources will be added ASAP — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saxfreak01 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Article fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:RS. The sources found are mostly passing mentions and articles about how he's suing a group of people for challenging his certificate or degree.  14:46, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Lapablo (talk)
 * Delete I toned down a few flowery prose sections, but the brief notoriety he had was for a viral social media thing, and that's about it. Some of the citations to the local newspapers only list "Correspondents" as the author, which is curiously vague. ValarianB (talk) 18:20, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't verify that the supposed United Nations Humanitarian Ambassador Peace Award Ghana actually exists or has anything to do with the UN. And the only other claim to fame here, that he was "the first Nigerian Police officer to attain or appointed as a Professor", doesn't sound particularly notable (how many retired police officers have become academics? probably many) and is cast into doubt by reference 12 of the article which points out that the "Green Hills University Denmark, Africa Campus" to which he was supposedly appointed is a fly-by-night unaccredited "dubious university". —David Eppstein (talk) 21:48, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
