“We are very sad to inform you that our friend, brother, and family, the Commissioner of Police for Akwa Ibom State, Waheed Ayilara, is dead,” the family source said.

In November 2023, Ayilara, then a Deputy Commissioner of Police, was appointed acting Commissioner of Police in Lagos, succeeding AIG Idowu Owohunwa.

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, later assigned Ayilara to lead the Akwa Ibom State Command in February 2024.
