Death of Kwara police commissioner shocking – Ahmed
The Kwara State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, has described as shocking and unfortunate the death of the Commissioner of Police in the state, Chinwe Asadu.
Ahmed, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, said the death of Asadu was a huge loss not only to the Nigeria Police but Kwara State security apparatus in particular as he exhibited high sense of discipline and professionalism in the course of duty in Kwara State.
The statement said: “Late CP Chinwe Asadu, in the discharge of his duty in Kwara State, contributed immensely to the sustenance of peace in the state and in the upholding of our values as a state of harmony.”
Ahmed noted that it was particularly painful that Asadu has become another index in the annals of the growing national insecurity, adding that it has become very expedient to rally round in finding enduring solution to the national malaise of insecurity.
The governor, who described Asadu as a quintessential police officer, prayed God to grant the family, the rank and file of the police in the state and the Nigeria Police in its entirety the fortitude to bear the loss.
