Summary[edit]

Description
English: Police Career Olufunwa soon felt there was not much mileage to the teaching profession at the time. His belief in discipline, fairness, justice, the uniformed Force and encouragement from Rev. Hodges attracted him to the Police Force, which he joined in 1937. This decision astounded his colleagues and relatives alike, especially as he had to take a huge drop in salary. However, convinced he made the right decision there was no looking back. He was absolutely determined to succeed. He had his early Police training in Eastern and Northern Nigeria. Whilst in Training he studied Hausa Language and thus spoke the language fluently. He was an Instructor in Law at Police Training Schools at Kaduna and Enugu in the period 1941-1944. As a sub-inspector, his intellectual ability, education and remarkable personal qualities were recognised in the Police Force and was recommended for training courses overseas. Olufunwa’s recommendation brief by the selection board of the Nigeria Police described him as “Above average in Intelligence and Education. .Completely honest and reliable and has proved himself a good all-round officer with the good name of the Force at heart. He is considered suitable for promotion to senior service on completion of his course”
