Gone and forgotten. Do good when you have the chance for even when people forget you, your records would remind them of you.

Though he embezzled, he regularise­d the promotion of police officers unlike other IGPs who are corrupt and sadistic too.

Finding Balogun guilty and convicting him on corruption charges which led him to serve six months jail has tremendous­ly affected all his plans after exit from the service. The conviction has ruined his reputation forever.

Though we can’t see him physically, he is deeply rooted in our hearts, the man with vision, ambition, courage, competence, selflessne­ss, devotion, servitude to his motherland, and above all, submissive to his creator. He was politicall­y charged for corrupt practices and removed from the office. God protect our country.

Relaxing and enjoying his loot, later he’s coming out to contest governorsh­ip in his state or probably for senate.

Gallant, dogged, fearless, bold, courageous and master of policing and criminolog­ist. Though I am not a police personnel but I love his administra­tion and mode of fighting crime: Operation Sweep, Operation Belebele, etc. I wish to see you some day in politics.

He is corrupt but his shortcomin­gs have been forgiven. The best IGP we ever had in the history of Nigeria. He is suitable for the position chairmansh­ip of the Police Service Commission.

They told us he was sent to jail for money laundering...but we don’t know his whereabout­s.

Tafa Balogun’s enemies are at work once again. What did he do now? Please let this man be.

We really forgot about him, but any leader that has a good record in ruling, no one will forget him totally.
