“I receive with great shock the news of the sudden death of ACP Abolade Oladigbolu who before
his death on July 26, 2022, was the Area Commander Alapa Police Area Command of
Kwara state.

“The late Assistant Commissioner of Police who was a member of Course 20/2000 has put in more than 22 years in the service of our great country, he served us in Kwara with humility and dedication to his duty as evidence of his death while on active service within his
