Another serving Assistant Inspector General of Police, Yunana Babas, has been confirmed dead, three days after AIG Omololu Bishi died, fuelling confusion among the police high command as to how its precious officers are kicking the bucket in such a quick succession. Babas was the Zonal Commander in charge of Zone 8 with headquarters in Lokoja, Kogi State capital.
Bishi passed away three weeks after promotion to the rank.
A Lagos indigene, Bishi died after he complained of body ache, and it has not been confirmed if it was Corona virus, when suddenly AIG Yunana Babas’ death followed suit
Kwara State Governor, AbdulRazaq AbdulRahman, commiseratiing with the police high command, in Ilorin, over the sudden death, described Babas as a perfect gentleman and a dedicated officer, who will be sorely missed.
AbdulRahman said:“I received the news of the death of AIG Yunana Babas with rude shock and sadness. It is one tragedy too many.
“On behalf of the people and Government of Kwara State, I condole with the entire police family, especially the Inspector General of Police and the immediate family of the top officer, on this devastating development.
“The late officer was a fine gentleman, a patriot, and a professional cop who was very passionate about his duty to his fatherland. I recall the gallant roles the late officer played in some recent security developments in the zone.”
The Governor prayed the Almighty God to grant his gentle soul an eternal rest, while giving the police authorities and his immediate family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
