Mustafa Adebayo Balogun, a former Nigeria Inspector General of Police (IGP), has passed away.
According to daily reports, family sources on Thursday confirmed his death.

Balogun became the 21st Inspector-General of Police on March 6, 2002. He was born in Ila-Orangun, Osun State, on August 8, 1947.
Balogun was charged on April 4, 2005, at the Federal High Court in Abuja with stealing and laundering more than $100 million during his three years as Inspector General of Police.
He was accused of 70 crimes by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
However, he struck a deal with the judge to enter a plea in exchange for returning most of the properties and funds. He was punished with 6 months imprisonment.
