..Says Nigeria has lost a patriot
The Police Service Commission (PSC) on Monday mourned the passing of its immediate past Chairman and former Inspector General of Police, Dr. Solomon Ehigiator Arase, describing his death as tragic and a great loss not only to the Commission but to the nation.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by the spokesperson of the Commission, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, after a delegation of the Commission led by Justice Paul Adamu Galumje, retired Justice of the Supreme Court and Honourable Commissioner representing the Judiciary in the Commission, who stood in for the Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd, mni). Also in the delegation was DIG Taiwo Lakanu (rtd).
According to the statement, “The delegation commiserated with the family of its former Chairman and prayed for the peaceful repose of his soul.
“Ex IGP Arase was a distinguished officer, a cerebral leader, and a pathfinder whose life of service to the nation remains exemplary.
“As Chairman of the Police Service Commission, he provided visionary and stabilizing leadership, guiding the Commission with uncommon wisdom. His foresight and commitment to institutional growth culminated in the successful relocation of the Commission to its befitting Corporate Headquarters at Jabi, Abuja, one of the many legacies of his tenure.
“He dedicated his life to the service of Nigeria, leaving behind a record of integrity, courage, and reform that will continue to inspire generations of officers and administrators.
The Board, Management, and Staff of the Police Service Commission extend heartfelt condolences to his family, the Nigeria Police Force, and the entire nation. May God grant his family the strength to bear this great loss, and may his noble soul rest in perfect peace.”
Meanwhile, the Commission has opened a condolence register at its Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
