Opens Condolence register at FHQ, Abuja.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase, 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.
