General Babo Bababu is a villain and enemy to President Lamanda Luaga.

Biography
According to the Newspaper strip
He is a Llongo by birth. He went into the army as a boy because he likes fighting. When the Independence War broke out and it became clear that those fighting for freedom would win, General Bababu joined the liberation movement. Afterwards, he tried to be elected as president of Bengali (as it was still called then), but lost it to Dr. Lamanda Luaga. Unable to accept a defeat, General Bababu started a civil war and began a hunt for Luaga. Luaga was taken to safety in the Skull Cave by the Phantom, who then kidnapped and brought Bababu to the same place, where the chieftains of the jungle were also summoned to sentence him. Their ruling was that Luaga and Bababu had to fight each other in a duel without any weapons. Luaga won the duel, as he had learned to box during his studies in Oxford.
Bababu also has a daughter named Lila, who married Lon Luaga, the son of his archenemy.
After his initial defeat, he has repeatedly come back over and over again and tried to take control of Bangalla - usually by attempting to murder Luaga.
