Court stops alleged bid to arrest Ribadu

[MrOneNaija]

WANTED: 'BORN-AGAIN' EPIPHANY

The man knows his rights and also knows that the mere invitation has an undertone. He doesn't want to walk into a trap "wide-eyed". He's in that system, he knows what'll happen to him if he doesn't apply the law angle to it. That's why he allowed his lawyer to follow the rule of law by going before a judge.

Out of those who condemned this man, none has recommended someone who can do a better job. oh well, may be current chairman or chairlady.

It seem some people are badly in need of divine revelation, perhaps a "born-again" kind of epiphany to disabuse their minds about the fraud called Ribadu.

The media reports on the EFCC missing files have consistently pointed to the fact that the files on the former governors did disappear under the watch of the ex-EFCC boss. Ribadu left only a 3-page handover note to the then acting EFCC chief, Mr. Lamorde. Now, it is not that hard to figure out that under the circumstances, it is only fair for the police and the EFCC to want to know from the horse's mouth what has happened to the files about which he made so much noise.

Again, the bizarre tendency by some individuals to personalize issues (Pls. see the last para. of the above quote)
- what I earlier referred to as an unnecessary attempt by the ex-Obasanjo thug himself to create "an aura of indispensability" around his person - must be seen as quite unhealthy. Ribadu will NOT go back to the EFCC. Nigerians have moved on as far as his deserved sacking is concerned. He is lucky that he has not yet been arrested and tried for his numerous crimes against the citizenry.

No, what we as Nigerians deserve to know is
How is our AG connected to known looters who bought property in London for 2 million Pounds...Is our AG conflicted? It is called due diligence.

Now please tell who is the m.o.ron that is personalizing issues here?
1. Nuhu is a police officer ordered to Kuru.

2. He is at Kuru doing the course he was ordered to do

3. The m.orons who ordered his course suddenly discover because they read the analysis we give here (because they certainly are m.orons) that if he graduates, he fulfils all the righteousness of the law...

4. Then they stupidly take steps to stop him from graduating....

Forgive me, but in the public space, due diligence is required, are you related by law or connected to those Tiv persons messing up? What is personal here?

5. If they are reading this or you report to them, tell them, to separate Nuhu the person from his position at EFCC. They too must leave that position.

6. If files grew legs, surely he can graduate and produce files?...Why is the search for the files more important than his course? BTW would you give ya work to one who went to London to argue on behalf of a person he was supposed to be prosecuting..? Even if he has the files, he can make copies of the files so you cannot destroy them.

EFCC had International Partners they successfully worked with that are looking on in amazement...Both the Anaconda and his sidekick are also under scrutiny for ya info...now run and pass it on, sir

Ribadun is being given a taste of his own medicine. Full Stop.

Watch out for Act 1 Scene 2 in which Ribadun is arrested and made to face the music for his excesses during his terror reign as EFCC Chairman. The mystery of the missing files will soon be unfolded.

Stay Tuned.

Thank God for NVS archives! It is interesting how those who were justifying Ribadu's extra judicial methods in conducting his phony anticorruption wars are now complaining since he has started having a taste of his own medicine.

Ribadu must have gone after someone real close to you. What is there to rejoice about when we should be crying for Nigeria bloody water?

All the students that protest for the sake of their future have been killed or chased out, the activists are old or in exile and their children only remeber hard hungry days in Nigeria if they were born there. What is there to laugh about my brother?

I think the message being sent here is clearly that the evil that men do no longer live after them but live right now with them. The whip he used to whip others is now being used to whip him.

He is now crying for his fundamental human right to be respected. Same thing he refused to respect when he had the whip in his hands. Nonesense

Namio try not to turn this into a personal attack on anyone here. No one needs to personally experience unfair persecution and abuse of their fundamental rights in the guise of fighting corruption before decrying it.

If to you Ribadu is a messiah, some of us do not see him as such. He is just one overzealous messenger who did not use fairplay, decency and respect for fundamental human right (a sing song of his now) to deliver the message he was sent.

[DaBishop]

Valteena,
I hope you have no dog in this fight...
Last I recalled, it was fighting corruption methods we were addressing...
Is Lady Wazz doing all ya want?

Are the governors who looted being brought to justice?

We shall assume that Nuhu was wrong in some things, are they doing better than he did? Are they now stemming corruption? Have they now completely prosecuted all he started and apparently bungled?

Or are they rejoicing (instead of weeping) that evidence is being excluded in a London Court?
Can an aggressive Prosecutor ever be happy about that? Does that look normal to you?
I live in the US where the law trumps the individual, this never happens, ma!

Now this is my problem right here.....the man is a fraud for practicing selective "justice".....boy was he arrogant or what....breaking down doors and acting like a modern day Zorro without mask.

He was more of an obstacle to justice I swear.


Gosh....what a sychophant.

@Dewdrops:

Was he obstructing justice when he went after 419?

Was he obstructing justice when he went after credit-card fraud and bank frauds...banging on their doors?

How come regarding politicians, he is a fraud, please educate us in these new morals. Thank ya.

BREAKING NEWS: Nuhu Ribadu Dragged Out Of NIPSS Graduation Hall, wife and Children Removed.



The Yar’adua government acted on its threat to prevent the former Chairman of the economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu from graduating at Nigeria’s elite personnel training school, National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Jos, Plateau state.

Earlier today in the auditorium where the events held Ribadu was told to leave the venue of the event by the head of security of NIPSS, and was later dragged out by security agents acting on the orders of the government as he tried to ask why he was told to leave the venue.

The "Course 30" Study Group Director, Dr. Adamu Fika later told a bewildered audience that Ribadu could not participate due to "ill-health".

SaharaReporters learnt that the Nigeria’s controversial attorney General and Minister of justice, Mike Aondoakaa and a Deputy Inspector General of Police Hafiz Ringim visited the institution last night to pass on the order by Yar’adua not to allow Ribadu participate in today’s graduation ceremony.

After Ribadu was dragged out of the ceremony his wife, six kids and , 40 guests that came to attend the ceremony were also removed from the auditorium by security officials.
It was not clear if Ribadu was arrested after he was forced out of the venue, but a security source told SaharaReporters that he would likely be arrested and interrogated today...

April fool ?

Ha! tell me this is untrue....

Well yes! Selectively. He was an agent of OBJ....no need for any other explanation. If the whole system is rotten you tear it down.....from top to bottom...you can't hound some and slam the others. OBJ's enemies were hounded by him....I frankly do not care if they were innocent or guilty.....like someone mentioned:

BTW: Can we have a list of the corrupt individuals Ribadu brought to book during his tenure?

I frankly thought he should not have accepted the job....since he well understood what the deal was.....for one he should have initiated proceedings to tell us how OBJ went from 20,000Naira in his bank account to maintaining his Otta farms....or his other projects around the country.....not to talk of all his accounts in Saudi Arabia and so on.

How come Andy Uba and his mistress in the money laundering scheme in the US was never picked up by him. Especially where it was discovered that OBJ's private jet had been used to commit the crime?

Or do I need to mention the $15 million dollar fine paid by UBA to international bodies "illegal" financial deals some key banks in Nigeria...on behalf of the "gods and goddesses" of the Nigerian Empire?

Do I need to list more?


By the way...what happened to the Dariye case? After spending all his state's allocation to finance OBJ"s second term agenda....for crying out loud...Dariye's case happened way before Ibori's...still nothing came out of that mess.

He was claimed "Asiwaju Tinubu" had a case of such an unbelievable magnitude...of international dimension....and we never got to see the light of that either.

Transcorp?

One thing I really detested that EFCC of a thingy for was that it was a monopoly and Malam Ribadu wanted to do it all himself...he piled files upon files of cases under his bed and refused to dispatch those cases while playing footsies with OBJ for who to deal with or not.

I say he was a fraud.......I am glad he is part of the system he has so perfected...let OBJ come and save his ar$$ now.

I don't know how often the above happened o!

I can't even remember these instances.

Yes, it might have happened in the 'jungle' that is Nigeria..

But I dare say thus:

That the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, under the Chairmanship of Nuhu Ribadu, was one of the most disciplined government agencies in Nigeria's recent memory - meaning, amongst other things, the Commission complied with the rule of law FAR more than other agencies have done in recent times.

Will people prove that assertion wrong with facts, please? Pleeease?

Regards,

Auspicious.

Once more V, I see it fit to disagree with you. To laugh at the predicament of Ribadu, somehow is in bad taste... You probably dont see the present struggle as symbolic of the bigger problem with Nigeria and her chances of making it...

And there you go again seeing everyone of us who dont quite support the "Kill-Ribadu-movement" for his own inadequacies, even when we already conceded he wasnt a perfecet messenger, as believing the man Ribadu as a Mesiah ?

Ha! There was a reaon Obama was voted by the American people, despite obvious deficits of qualification on his CV for that job, compared even to that of Mrs. Clinton talkless of McCain.

The talk of fundamental Human Right actually is getting to a point it sickens, when you look at the big picture... we are talkinga about who here ? Ibori ? Alamsco ? Those people Ade Bendel ? Tell me who did Ribadu's EFCC arrest that didnt deserve to be shot ? And these people who we all know actually buys themselves airconditioned jailcells, while millionons of people, sons and daughters, also await trial in jailcells, as if there is no fHRights or RofLaw for them too ?

Again, I ll preach it till I am blue, Ribadu was not a messaih, just as much as President elect Barrack Obama was not a messaih and will not be.

What you all shouldnt do is try to make a Ribadu, the first in Nigerias 48years a Satan! Awwwwwwww !

Oh Gosh...that Ribadu of a dude was known to flout court orders like crazy....how soon we forget.

Is that all you can write? Go and enjoy those ones first ma dear.



Suuuuuuuuuure!

Like I always say.....heaven and hell are on this earth. No need to wait for death.

Ribadu is getting his own reward.....after the humiliation.....let him bounce back like the rest of his victims.

Is it not Nigeria?.....The land of the "resilient"! His God father will soon come to his rescue.

Da Bishop my point has always been that you do not use an illegal means to correct an illegal act. No matter how good your intentions are it negates it.

And I maintain that I believe strongly that he/she who comes to equity must come with clean hands. And Ribadu's hands are very dirty in this regard

In the same vein I believe you don't relentlessly pursue smaller thiefs while the bigger thiefs parade themselves with impunity before us and expect to be taken serious or credited for doing a good job.

Short of repeating myself what Ribadu did was persecute the opponents of his master while he turned blind eyes to the waton rape on our common wealth by his master and his ilks. That to me is not fighting corruption but being corrupt yourself.

None from Ribadu to Waziri was/is serious or even capable of fighting corruption therefore we should not accord them any credit. They deserve it not. That is my position.

[Auspicious]

If the report about the incident at Kuru is true and people are laughing about it, then, ladies and gentlemen, we should not only be ashamed of ourselves but we should also brace-up for more failure in that failed country we call home. This only makes things worse.

It reveals a type of pettiness that numbs the mind when government officials go out of their way, not to enforce the rule of law, but to undermine the dignity of their rivals for rivalry's sake..and the rest of us clap with glee at the disgraceful development.

It is like the story of the slaves who clap and whoop with unbriddled glee, when one of them is molested and maltreated by the slave-masters who will easily turn upon any one of them clapping and whooping slaves at the batting of an eye or at the snap of the hand.

The Yorubas say Egba ti won fin na Iyawo Ana naa ni won fi maa na Iyawo Tuntun - that is, it is the same Bilaila that the Bully Husband used in flogging the Senior Wife that will be used in flogging the Usurper Wife who, for now, is doing toin-toin faces at the dumped wife.

The vicious cycle continues, not only because of the tits-for-tats, but also by the grace of those who are helping to turn the wheels with encouraging jeers. Nuhu Ribadu was not a perfect man; he was a good, conscientious man, who worked hard in an impossible environment to give a ray of hope in an environment of impunity.

Ours is a hopeless country that shames the good to exhort the evil.

Auspicious.
