Markets and shops across Ila-Orangun in Osun State were on Saturday shut as a sign of honour as the remains of former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun, were interred in his country home.

The body was later moved to his residence, where it was received by Osun state police Commissioner, Wale Olokode.

The final rites of passage for officer of his status which include gun salute were held for the late ex-IG by a police team, having eight operatives, dressed in their ceremony red over black uniform, before the body, wrapped in all white dress was interred amidst wailings by many that witnessed the ceremony.

“Even in death, he remains, my mentor and benefactor. He was like a big father. When it comes to policing difficult issues, you can always go to him for advice, and we will miss him for that. “For those of us that he brought up, Lagos was like Mecca to most of us because we look forward to seeing him and sitting by him to listen to that great wisdom in policing.”All rights reserved.
