Buhari Releases Statement On Former IGP Etim Inyang's Death

On behalf of the Federal Executive Council and all Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari commiserates with the family of the late Inspector General of Police, Sir Etim Okon Inyang, who passed away at 85.

President Buhari sends his condolences to the immediate family, friends and community of the deceased, who served meritoriously as the head of the nation’s police force for three years, 1983-1986.

As a member of the Security Council and Vice Chairman of the Constitution Review Committee in 1987, the President believes the former Inspector General contributed immensely to the reforms and structuring of the nation’s security, and the processes that heralded good governance and democracy.

President Buhari prays that the almighty God will grant the departed soul eternal rest, and comfort his family.
