Tafa Balogun served as Nigeria's Inspector-General of Police from 2002 to 2004. During his tenure, he launched Operation Fire For Fire, a initiative aimed at reducing armed robbery and other criminal activities. However, his time in office was cut short when he resigned in 2004 amidst corruption allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Balogun faced an eight-count charge of diverting and embezzling public funds. In 2005, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in prison by an Abuja high court.
Prior to the sentencing, he had spent 67 days in EFCC custody.
As part of his sentencing, Balogun was ordered to pay a fine of N500,000 for each of the eight charges, totaling N4 million. Additionally, he was required to forfeit all assets, shares, and properties acquired with the stolen funds, valued at $150 million. These assets included cash in banks, shares in prominent companies, and 14 luxury buildings.
Later in 2005, EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu announced that the commission had recovered N17 billion from Balogun.
