The former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was arrested this morning in Kuru as he was getting ready for a convocation ceremony. The police dragged him out of the hall in an attempt to prevent him from graduating at the Nigerian Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS).

As at the time of filling this report, the reason for his arrest has not been given. But it will be recalled that there has been a frosty relationship between him and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoaaka, the Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro and the new chairman of EFCC Mrs. Farida Waziri.

Few weeks back, Ribadu went to court to challenge his demotion by the Police Service Commission and he has tried several times to avoid arrest by the agents of the Inspector-General of Police and Farida Waziri.
