Solomon Arase

It is with profound sorrow and deep reverence that the Aviary Club of Nigeria, under the leadership of our Global President, Sir Avian Odia Eromosele, mourns the demise of the distinguished former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase. Inspector General Arase’s demise marks the loss of a remarkable patriot and consummate public servant whose legacy transcends his tenure and continues to resonate throughout the annals of Nigerian law enforcement. His unwavering commitment to restoring peace, order, and integrity within the Nigerian Police Force and the broader society remains a beacon of inspiration.

Throughout his illustrious career, Solomon Arase demonstrated exceptional leadership in combating one of Nigeria’s most pernicious social maladies, cultism. His resolute efforts in curbing cult-related violence, particularly in Edo State, stand as a testament to his dedication to safeguarding the lives and futures of Nigerian youth. Under his stewardship, strategic initiatives and community-oriented policing strategies were deployed, effectively dismantling cult networks and restoring a semblance of security in communities plagued by violence and unrest.

Beyond his sterling work in tackling cultism, Inspector General Arase’s contributions to the modernization and professionalization of the Nigerian Police Force are profound and far-reaching. He championed reforms aimed at enhancing discipline, accountability, and the operational efficiency of the force, thereby strengthening public trust and confidence in law enforcement agencies across the nation.

His vision extended beyond the police institution to embrace the welfare of the Nigerian citizenry, advocating for peace building, justice, and human rights. His leadership was characterized by a blend of firmness and empathy, ensuring that the rule of law was upheld while creating a spirit of community engagement.

The Aviary Club of Nigeria salutes the indelible mark left by Solomon Arase on Nigeria’s journey toward a safer and more just society. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, the Nigerian Police Force, and the entire nation during this period of mourning.

May his soul find eternal rest, and may his legacy continue to inspire generations of Nigerians committed to public service and the pursuit of peace.
