BENIN—The Benin National Congress, BNC, has described the confirmation of Mr. Solomon Arase as the new Inspector-General of Police as a square peg in a square hole.

The group, in a congratulatory message to the IG by Dr. David Ekomwenrenren, its Director of Publicity and Intelligence, said Arase’s appointment would lead to robust productivity in the Police force.

He said: “We congratulate Mr. Arase essentially for his humility and sound ethical re-orientation of the aspirations of the average officers and men of the Nigeria Police, as well as his peaceful disposition in the face of tendencies that have been at play against merit and good conduct.”
