Residents Boo IGP Baba In Lagos State

Along the Oshodi-Anthony Expressway, some people of Oshodi in Lagos State booed the new Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.

Baba was reportedly booed while on his way to an event on Wednesday.

Although it was unclear what the IGP’s goal in Lagos was, a source stated that it was not unrelated to the regional tensions surrounding the scheduled June 12 protest.
