| Late Sunday Adebayo Adewusi |
Sunday Adebayo Adewusi born on 6th
of December 1936 in Nassarawa Eggon LGA of Nassarawa State, he was a Nigerian
policeman and inspector general of police. His mother was Princess Eyiolawi
Abeje. He started training at police back in 1957 and successfully finished it
in 1958. His first notable position in Nigerian police was ADC to the
Governor-General. Back at that time Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was searching for the
right candidate, personally interviewed the 14 selected persons and pick Sunday
Adebayo Adewusi. He was appointed in 1981 to succeed Adamu Suleiman and was
succeeded by Etim Inyang in 1983.
He never missed an opportunity to obtain more
training or get higher qualification and never skipped any steps up in his
Police Force career. His main assignment to the position of IG came in 1981. Because
of his qualification, seriousness of purpose and dedication to duty, when the
position of the ADC to the then Governor-general of Nigeria, the Rt. Hon. Dr.
Nnamdi Azikwe, was vacant, he was appointed ADC to the governor-general. In
1964, he traveled to the police staff college in Scotland for an advanced
training that qualified him for top management positions in the force. He also
traveled for studies on the operation of force at east ridding constabulary,
Lancashire, Yorkshire. At that time he has become the youngest among all the
Nigerian Inspector Generals! At the age of 32 he has become the youngest among
all the police commissioners and at age 45 he became the inspector general of
police.
On Tuesday January 26, 2016, Sunday Adebayo
Adewusi died at age 79. A source from the Nigerian police said that Mr. Adebayo
Adewusi died at the National Hospital at about 9:00pm after brief illness.
