The immediate past Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba says he is happy passing the baton of leadership of the Nigeria Police Force to IGP Kayode Egbetokun because they grew up together on the job.

Baba, who spoke at the Aso Villa in Abuja, said life is a stage and people come into office and leave when their time is over.

In a chat with State House correspondent after Egbetokun was decorated with his new rank as IGP, Baba described the event as “very significant”.

The new Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun said he was raring to go.
