Another ex-PSC boss Parry Osayande dies, Commission mourns
A past Chairman of the Police Service Commission is dead.
Retired DIG Osayande died a day after another past chairman of the PSC Solomon Arase was buried in his Edo home state.
He died early on Sunday in Benin, Edo State.
The PSC said it received the news of the death with shock, nothing that late Osayande was an erudite and consumate policeman who paid his dues as an exemplary police officer and visionary Chairman of the Commission.
A statement by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations of the PSC, recalled that DIG Osayande succeeded Chief Simon Okeke, who was the pioneer Chairman of the Commission.
According to the spokesman, Osayande was appointed in April 2008 by President Goodluck Jonathan.
“His tenure marked rapid growth of the Commission, including the Presidential approval for a Corporate Headquarters for the Commission now standing in the Jabi District of Abuja.
“DIG Parry Osayande was fearless, focused, and had a Commanding presence, which gave the Commission, a lot of mileage during its formative period,” the statement added.
Ani said the incumbent Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (retd)mni, said the death of DIG Osayande was a great loss for the Commission. He called on Nigerians to remember the Commission in their prayers in this trying period of losing two of its former Chairmen within a month.
