A former inspector-general of police (IGP), Tafa Balogun, has died.
A source, who spoke to TheCable, said the news was confirmed on Thursday evening.
Although details surrounding his death are still sketchy, the former IGP had not been seen in public in recent times.
He would have clocked 75 on August 8.
Balogun served as IGP between 2002 and 2005, during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He, however, resigned his position following allegations of corruption against him.
After he left office, he was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of benefitting from corruption to the tune of N13 billion.
