There was excitement at the Louis Edet House, Police headquarters, Abuja, over the exit of the retired Inspector General of Police, Alkali Usman Baba.
Some policemen alleged that the retired IGP operated a nepotistic administration.
Yet there was palpable pomp and ceremony following the arrival of Acting IGP Kayode Egbetokun at the headquarters around 2.30pm.
Police officers were jubilant over the new sheriff in town.
It took the intervention of the Police Provost Marshals who guarded and shielded him from the mammoth crowd struggling to shake his hands.
