The InterContinetal Hotel in Kabul, which had housed Nigeria’s former anti-corruption czar, and last April’s presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Nuhu Ribadu, came under a fierce suicide attack by Taliban fighters yesterday.

Eight of the fighters stormed the hotel killing Afghan security officials and hotel guests. But Mr. Ribadu had recently left the country after a previous round of attacks against UN workers, relocating to China before returning to Abuja last month.

Mr. Ribadu was appointed by the United Nations to help fight corruption in Afghanistan as part of an ‘Anti-Corruption Monitoring and Evaluation Committee’.

Right after the Nigerian general elections in April, the former boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission moved to Kabul to commence the assignment.

Ribadu is in trouble. Boko haramites are chasing him at home and Talibans are chasing his abroad.

If by any act of omission or commission, Ribadu is captured and beheaded by the Taliban in afghanistan, the Yorubas are to be blamed. If the yorubas had not deserted ribadu on the day of the presidential election, by now he could have been in aso rock and not in danger zone afghanistan.
