PRESS RELEASE

NIGERIA POLICE FORCE MOURNS THE DEATH OF
FORMER IGP SUNDAY ADEWUSI
· Opens Condolence register at FHQ, Abuja.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase, fdc, NPM, on behalf of the entire officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, announces the news of the death of former IGP Sunday A. Adewusi, GCON, NPM, who passed away at the National Hospital, Abuja on Tuesday 26th January, 2016, and expresses deepest condolences and sympathy to the families and loved ones of the late IGP.

IGP Arase, while describing the late Chief Sunday Adewusi as a Nigerian hero who served his nation proudly, as a Police officer, even at retirement, said he was a transformational leader whose tenure as Inspector-General of Police between1981-1983 remains impactful, across several generations of Police officers. The IGP noted that throughout his life, he remained a strong member of the Police family; attending all Police official events, even up to the last Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary celebration.

Late Chief Sunday Adewusi, according to the IGP, was a beacon of hope to the Nigeria Police Force, just as he remained an advocate of policing throughout his life. While the entire members of the Nigeria Police family mourn the loss of a great police icon, the IGP noted that the same family also celebrates his remarkable life and hoped that it serves as an example to all and sundry across the nation, to selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves.
The IGP therefore urged the families, friends and indeed all Nigerians to take solace in the knowledge that he has gone to be with his Maker and he is surely resting in the bosom of the Almighty God.

Meanwhile, the IGP has set up a Committee to liaise with the family to give him a befitting burial that he deserves.
