For the New Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, his appointment isnât a tea party, writes Olawale Olaleye
The appointment and subsequent decoration of officer Usman Alkali Baba as the nationâs new inspector general of police is not one to attract envy. Landing such a good job at a rather inauspicious time is no less a delicate balance, which of course, declines all the flashes and pizzas, given a different epoch.
Perhaps, Baba is not unawares of his current job description, not as a police officer per se, but as one, who has just been handed the most unattractive assignment of securing an âuncivil populationâ. Heâd acknowledged the state of Imo State and admitted there was a need for clean-up in the Southeast state.
