Ribadu Dismissed From Police-PM News, Lagos

By Nnamdi Felix /Minna

Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has been dismissed from the police force.

A statement signed by police spokesman, Akpoebi Agberebi, confirmed Ribadu’s sack, this afternoon. He was sacked for indiscipline, insurbordination and absence from duty. Ribadu was one of the six police officers nominated and sent on senior executive course at NIPSS, Kuru, Jos.

While on course, he was demoted to the rank of DCP along with 139 officers, who were allegedly wrongfully promoted. According to a statement signed by Akpoebi, the act of misconduct levelled against Ribadu are improper dressing when he appeared before the president on 13 November, with other NIPSS participants, in plain clothes, where others were properly dressed.

He was also accused of instituting legal proceedings against the Inspector-General of Police, AG and the Police Service Commission, at a Federal High Court in Lagos, without proper authority from government.

These conducts, the statement added, are prejudicial to discipline, proper administration of the force and unbecoming of an officer, contrary to sections 352 and 367 of the Police Act and against Rules 030402 of the Police Service Rules 2006.

Ribadu was also accused of flagrantly disobeying the order and directive of the IG to report to the Force Headquarters on 24 November, along with his NIPSS coursemates, at the completion of their studies.

Furthermore, Ribadu was said to have disregarded his posting order and refused to proceed on transfer when he was posted to zone 5, Benin, as deputy commissioner of police in charge of administration, since 21 November, contrary to sections 349, 348 and 347 of the Police Act.

“Serious misconduct is a specific act of various wrongdoings and improper behaviours, and which is inimical to the image of the service and which can be investigated and if proven, will lead to dismissal. At the end of deliberations, the commission dismissed the officer from the force for acts of gross indiscipline, insubordination and absence from duty, acts singularly and collectively punishable under rules 03, 04,01 of the Public Service Rules 2006,” the statement read.

Ewuro,
I cannot remember us discuss this. But I remember I once said he should have resigned, because this is foreseeable.

This is the apparent closing to the path he has chosen. I hope a Moses would rise in Israel who would lead Nigeria to the promise land. He might deem it fit to annul Ribadu's dismissal, convert it to retirement and re-appoint him as the EFCC. Then the real battle against corruption may commence.

Good luck to Ribadu. Another sad day for Mother Nigeria.:sad:

TONSOYO,
THREE GBOSA TO YOU
The part i highlighted above will be sweet sweet and i cannot imagine any greater sincerity against corruption than that from anyone should RIBADU be right thinking. Infact i fully suscribe to that notion. Who knows the way Abacha was removed by divine intervention may be what is in the offing with RIBADU if he has a come back. ONCE BEATEN TWICE SHY and wil be a good atonement for the dis-service he had done to Nigerian via OBJ

We saw it coming! No surprises at all. Shame on you, indolent, "go-slow" Yar' Adua and your discredited PDP government of vindictiveness but no movement. Nigeria is doomed with the Yar Aduas, Michael Aandooka and the crooked billionaire ex-governors in charge of Aso rock.
