Am sure you are related to him (Alamaseiygha),dis-guysing criminal. At least we are beginning to see why you would want Ribadu dead. Rubbish!
Don't worry you and your relatives wouldn't succeed.

hollandis:

The evil Good that men do lives after them

The coward ribadu

Pls take note of the correct statement. As applied to the present day Nigeria.

back2back:

Indeed. What a logic.

Let him turn himself up to rule of LAW if he has nothing to hide.

It is that simple. We must learn to uphold LAW OF THE LAND.

Now am sure u didn't grow up in Nigeria with statements like this.

READ THIS:

1 A country with the RULE OF LAW doesn't have the enforcement agency beat up her cityzen in the street and strip her naked only to find out on CNN. By the way it happens everyday till date. (for those of us who didn't grow up in Nigeria take note)

2  A country with the RULE OF LAW doesn't remove CEOs of companies without the votes of the share holders.

3 A country with the RULE OF LAW doesn't see its law enforcement agency summarily execute a sect leader without any explanation(a regular decimal here).

4  A country with the RULE OF LAW doesn't see her cityzens die without any explanation and doesn't find out y? (Bola Ige)


it goes on and on,

back2back:

Nothing but criminal runs from the LAW of the land.

He is actually degrading Nigeria and you people are rejoicing.

Atiku(note, i don't care about him) stood his ground and went from court cases to court cases, that's strengthen Nigeria.
HOW?

Abiola stood his ground. He gave us what is JUNE 12 today even though his dead.

are u serious? i didnt know he died? when now? and what has that changed?

Gani stood his ground.He gave us hope which is almost lost now.

correct. I agree with you. Just that i feel you have plans to see Ribadu off same way hmm?

Ribadu can step into Gani's shoes the moment he respect the LAW and turn himself up.

If RIBADU is HONEST,let him turn himself up to LAW and face his detractors in LAW court instead of sneaking around like common criminal he was busy chasing in his days.
NIGERIA is above anyone of us!

Am sure your life has never been treathen-ed, that why you talk that way.

have an assignment for you: Go to your state Governor and tell him to his face he is corrupt let see what happens to you? RUBBISH!!!

correct guy! nothing do you at all!

11th September 2009
Kunle Olasanmi, Abuja
FORMER Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, was yesterday accused of working with foreigners to destabilise the country.
The Attorney-General and Justice Minister, Michael Aondoakaa, (SAN) accused Ribadu of treason and “working against the interest of the administration of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.”
The allegations against the former EFCC boss border on the provisions of the criminal code.
The chief law officer of the country, however, said that no amount of propaganda from Ribadu can destabilise the country because the President is trying his best to uplift the standard of living of Nigerians.
He also threatened to sue the former EFCC boss “if he comes to Nigeria to say all that he is saying abroad because nobody can remain in an office forever.”
“He is giving false information to the British government about the situation of things in Nigeria. It is all false.”
Ribadu made a deposition in a London court that Yar’Adua’s Principal Private Secretary, Mr. David Edevbie, signed an agreement between three former governors and Vmobile to sell the states’ shares to the telecoms company. The former governors are Victor Attah (Akwa Ibom), James Ibori (Delta) and Bola Tinubu (Lagos).
“I won’t succumb to blackmail. If he (Ribadu) comes to the country and say all that he is saying abroad, I will sue him. Nobody can remain in an office forever. His appointment must be subject to the confirmation of the Senate. All the information he is giving to the British government is to embarrass and undermine the Federal Government,” Aondoakaa said.
On the Halliburton scam, Aondoakaa said the retirement of Mr. Mike Okiro, former Inspector-General of Police, slowed down the work of the committee set up to investigate the scam.
He said the N50 million approved for the committee by the Federal Government has been released by his office.
The AGF also declared that the EFCC has cleared the former governors of alleged money laundering on the Vmobile scam.
He however said the case file of the former governors on other cases has not been closed
It was alleged in a petition during Ribadu’s tenure that the former governors sold the shares of the states to Vmobile (now Zain) through a company called African Development Funds Incorporated.
It was further alleged that the transaction was not transparent and that it was used for money laundering.
The revelation of their clearance was as a request from the British government for more information about the deal.
According to the Attorney-General, he was not aware of the case until the British Home Office wrote him on June 1, 2009 for information on the case.
He said after he got the letter from Britain, he requested for the file.
Aondoakaa said: “This case has to do with Vmobile shares involving three former governors, Chief James Ibori of Delta State, Senator Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and Obong Victor Attah of Akwa-Ibom State. I was not aware of the case when I assumed office. I got a request for Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) from Britain on June 1, 2009.
“There is a company called African Development Funds Incorporation. The company was engaged to sell the shares of the states to Vmobile.
“While transaction was going on, the EFCC got information that the transaction was not transparent and that it was to be used for money laundering. EFCC started their investigation. I was not the AGF when it started. The EFCC said Access Bank was the bank used during the transactions.
“During investigation, it was gathered that the EFCC ordered Access Bank to stay action on the deal, that the commission was investigating the deal. Later, the EFCC wrote the bank that the issued has been cleared”.
He also denied the allegation that the agreement to the deal was signed by Edevbie, who was Ibori’s commissioner.
“At the time the request was made, EFCC had cleared the former governors. I didn’t ask the EFCC to clear the former governors after I got the request from Britain. All they have done is to embarrass the government. I can’t grant any request if all the ingredients of the offences were committed here.
“It is a lie that I have ordered the cases of the former governors to be withdrawn. The cases are still going on. I will not succumb to blackmail. I have not stopped any case.”
