Late Police AIG Kanayo Uzuegbu
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 9 Headquarters, Umuahia, AIG Kanayo Uzuegbu, is dead.
Abia State Governor Alex Otti announced the sad development on Saturday in Umuahia, revealing that the senior police officer died after a battle with cancer.
Governor Otti expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the late AIG, describing him as a diligent, hardworking and committed officer who served the nation with dedication and professionalism.
The governor prayed for the peaceful repose of his soul and asked God to grant his family, friends, colleagues and loved ones the strength to bear the irreparable loss.
A minute’s silence was observed in honour of the deceased police chief at the International Conference Centre, Umuahia, where Governor Otti made the announcement while delivering his acceptance speech after emerging as the Labour Party’s governorship candidate for a second term ahead of the 2027 election.
The death of AIG Uzuegbu has elicited grief among members of the police community and stakeholders who knew him during his distinguished career in the Nigeria Police Force. (Text, excluding headline: Vanguard)
