The Minister of Police Affairs, Ibrahim Gaidam, has, on behalf of the Police Ecosystem, condoled with the people and government of Nigeria over the death of the former Inspector General of Police and Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Solomon Arase, who died on Sunday.

In a statement signed by the Minister and made available to Daily Sun by Bolaji Oladimeji Kazeem, the Ministry’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Gaidam said the Ministry and all stakeholders share in the moment of grief and sorrow with the Arase family, the people of Edo State, and the entire country.

“This is a great loss to the people, the Police Ecosystem, and the government of Nigeria. His contribution had a great impact on the protection of lives and property, and he cordially worked with the Ministry in the transparent recruitment of the 2024 police constables in the country.

“It’s important to acknowledge the significance of his contributions and the impact of his passing on the nation.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of a true leader and a dedicated servant to our nation. His legacy will live on through his tireless efforts and commitment to the people,” Gaidam stated.

The Minister described Arase’s death as a profound loss for the country, adding that the late IGP’s dedication to public service and unwavering commitment to the security sector will be remembered.

“Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of a statesman who served with honour and integrity. May his spirit of leadership inspire generations to come.”

Gaidam said Arase’s contributions to the nation will not be forgotten in a hurry.
