That was the submission of former Inspector General of Police (IG) Tafa Balogun who was the guest lecturer at the flag-off of the Community Policing Awareness Campaign at the POWA Hall, Oduduwa Close, Ikeja, in Lagos.
At the event attended by Lagos Monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, and the representative of IG Mohammed Adamu, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) in charge of Research and Planning, Mr Adeleye Oyebade, Balogun called for better welfare for the police and constitutional empowerment of traditional rulers, as he revealed how retired IGs have been given the task of driving the community policing initiative in allocated states across the country.
