The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, has paid tribute to the late former IGP Solomon Arase.
Speaking at the inaugural memorial lecture in honour of the late Inspector General of Police at the Nigeria Police Resource Centre, Disu said his speech about IGP Arase was, for him, “not merely an official responsibility but an emotional privilege, because he had the opportunity to know him closely, to learn from him, to engage with him and, above all, to experience firsthand the warmth, wisdom and humanity that defined the man behind the rank.
Disu described Arase as an exceptional police officer who was cerebral, intellectually curious and deeply committed to professionalism.
