Arase was Nigeria’s 18th Inspector-General of Police. He was appointed IGP in April 2015 by then-President Goodluck Jonathan.
He retired in 2016, and was later appointed Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), in January 2023 under President Muhammadu Buhari.
He was relieved of the position in June 2024 by President Bola Tinubu.
A seasoned intelligence officer, Arase once led the Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau, the police force’s apex intelligence unit. He also served as Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State and later as Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of intelligence.
