EX-IGP BALOGUN FOR BURIAL SATURDAY

The burial of a former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun, has been scheduled for Saturday, as the family awaits his remains.

Balogun died yesterday in Lagos, at 74.

A younger brother to the late IGP, Alhaji Yekini Lawal, told our correspondent that the remains of the police boss were being expected in Ila community of Osun State on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the chairman of Ila-Orangun Community Development Council, an umbrella body for all indigenes of the town, Chief Oye Oke, on Friday said it would be hard to fill the vacuum that Balogun’s death has created in the community.
