Breaking: Former IGP Solomon Arase is Dead

Linus Aleke in Abuja

The former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase, is dead.

The immediate past Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC) reportedly died at Cedarcrest Hospital in Abuja on Sunday.

Arase, who was the 18th Inspector General of Police, previously served as the head of the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, the Force’s top intelligence unit, before his appointment as IGP.

Born on 21 June 1956 in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State, Arase joined the Nigeria Police Force on 1 December 1981 and retired on 21 June 2016, having reached the mandatory retirement age of 60.

A Political Science graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, he also earned a Law degree from the University of Benin and a Master’s degree from the University of Lagos.

In January 2023, the late President Muhammadu Buhari appointed him Chairman of the Police Service Commission. He held that position until June 2024, when he was removed by President Bola Tinubu.

Arase was widely respected for his reform-driven leadership and dedication to the welfare of police personnel.

As IGP, he spearheaded key reforms, including the establishment of the Intelligence Response Team, the Complaint Response Unit to tackle police misconduct, and the Safer Highway Patrols initiative, which enhanced security for road users nationwide.

Following his retirement, Arase remained active in security reform, especially in the areas of election security and police neutrality.

He was also passionate about education, youth empowerment, and social development. Through the Solomon Ehigiator Arase Foundation (SEAF), he promoted academic excellence by awarding scholarships to high-achieving Nigerian students—particularly children of fallen police officers and youths from underserved communities.

In 2025, SEAF awarded scholarships to 29 students across disciplines such as Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Criminology, Political Science, and Business Administration. The Foundation described the initiative as a reflection of Arase’s lifelong values—integrity, service, and excellence.

The scholarship programme was designed not only to provide financial aid but to nurture future leaders and contribute to the creation of a more just and equitable society.

Confirming the passing of the former IGP, Solomon Arase, the family, in a statement signed by his son, Solomon Arase Jnr., on Sunday, said: “The Arase family of Benin City, Edo State, hereby announces the passing of Solomon Ehigiator Arase, PhD, CFR, NPM, FDC, former Inspector General of Police.

“He passed away at about 9 a.m. on Sunday, 31 August 2025, at Cedarcrest Hospital, Abuja, after a brief illness. He was aged 69.

“After a distinguished career as Inspector General of Police, Dr Arase also served as Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC). He was a member of the Body of Benchers.

“The family seeks the understanding and prayers of friends, associates, and well-wishers during this difficult time, as they make the necessary arrangements for his obsequies, which will be announced in due course.”

    Deji Elumoye in Abuja

    President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) over the demise of the 18th indigenous Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Solomon Ehigiator Arase, aged 69.
    Arase’s reforms as IGP and later as Chairman of the Police Service Commission brought lasting changes to the force.
    The President, in a release issued by his Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, commiserated with the family, friends and associates of the highly resourceful officer.
    President Tinubu acknowledged the dedication of the former IGP to enhancing security in the country, through initiatives such as the Intelligence Response Team, the Complaint Response Unit, and Safer Highway Patrols.
    Reflecting on Arase’s laudable service to the country, the President remarked, “Arase served the police force meritoriously from 1981 to 2016. During his career, he led tactical, operational, and intelligence units, including United Nations Peacekeeping in Namibia, the Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom, and the Principal Staff Officer to three IGPs.
    “He was Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB), and Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department.
    “After retirement, he continued to serve the nation in various public roles, including as Chairman of the Police Service Commission and as head of the Task Force on implementing the Edo State Anti-Community Development Association Law.
    “His expertise extended to consultancy roles with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), the European Centre for Electoral Support, the Human Rights Centre at the University of Oslo, and as a member of the Committee on Prevention of Torture in Geneva, Switzerland.
    “I pray for the peaceful repose of the soul of this dedicated security expert, whose experience and contributions will be deeply missed by our nation”.
    Also, President Tinubu expressed sadness over the passing of Bishop Francis Emmanuel Okobo, the pioneer Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Nsukka, aged 88.
    “As the pioneer Catholic Bishop of the Nsukka Diocese, Bishop Okobo provided uncommon leadership and direction to the Catholic faithful, leading to the Church’s exponential growth in Nsukka Diocese.
    “As a priest and worker in God’s Vineyard, he lived an exemplary and impactful life, building the Church and guiding countless souls with love and wisdom,” the President said.
    President Tinubu commiserated with Bishop Okobo’s family, the Catholic faithful of Nsukka Diocese, and the people and government of Enugu State on the demise of this shepherd of the flock.
    He prayed for the peaceful repose of the revered clergyman’s soul.
    Bishop Okobo was ordained to the Priesthood in 1966 at 29 and served as a priest for 54 years.
    Following his Episcopal Ordination in 1991, he served as the Local Ordinary of the Nsukka Diocese for 34 years.

    Falana Calls on Govt to Extend Free Medical Services to All Indigent Pregnant Women

    Prominent Lawyer and human rights activitst, Mr Femi Falana SAN, has called on the federal government, state governments and the Federal Capital Territory to extend free caesarean section to all indigent pregnant women.

    In a statement on Sunday, Falana, who is the Chair, Alliance on Surviving Covid 19 and Beyond (ASCAB), said doing so was the only way to reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality to the barest minimum in Nigeria.

    Falana’s statement read: “Sometime in November last year, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Pate, announced that free caesarean sections would be provided to Nigerian women in need. The Minister made the announcement during the launch of the ‘Maternal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative.’

    “In April this year, the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) said it has commenced free Caesarean Sections (CS) for pregnant women in over 100 hospitals across the country. The Director-General of NHIA, Kelechi Ohiri, disclosed that the intervention is under the Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (CEmONC) Programme.

    “Since the initiative represents a commitment to reducing maternal and newborn mortality across Nigeria, the federal government, as well as the state governments and the Federal Capital Territory, should extend it to all indigent pregnant women. This is the only way to reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality to the barest minimum in Nigeria.”
