ok, now you sound like we are finally getting there.

Only a court of law can prevent him from leaving the country and no court has done so in his presence or absence so come up with another fraudulent claim for me to destroy.

this is exactly my point: only the court of law can prevent him from leaving the country. in fact, ribadu clearly knows this and this is one of his main reasons why he refuses to show up in court. he knows the rules, he knows the process; he had also used the process on others in the past.
ask any lawyer what is usually the first step of the court of law, if you are being investigated or any charges is brought against you (as a former or current top government official) .
your passport is always the first thing to be surrendered.
i'm still waiting to hear from you regarding akingbola's situation. i wonder if you see any thing in common? i also wonder if you realize why ribadu should be stopped quickly.
we will get somewhere as soon as we all realize that ribadu will come and go, but nigeria will stay here for ever. we must not encourage stupidity from anyone regardless of anything.
embracing ribadu's shenanigans is the height of encouragement of stupidity and degration of the sovereignty of this nation.

why r ppl cruxifying Ribadu? who among us in d forum has d gut as exemplified by Ribadu? does anyone think its easy fighting crime in dis corruption-riddden country? personally i never believe he ever acted d script of OBJ. he who owns the piper, they say, dictates d tunes. wen OBJ discarded d ist report on Bode George by giving us flimpsy excuse during RIBADU'S era, wat do u expect Ribadu to do? n if anyone says Ribadu was doing mere witchhunting, d question i would ask dem is DIDNT dos convicted guilty of dia crimes or not. the same critism is now trailing Lamido Sanusi of CBN as some claim that the man is not only being selective but playing a NORTHERN AGENDA. even GANI FAWEHINMI, how many of us here voted for him when he contested for presidency? naija, noting wey we no dey condemn.

Ok, I'm not sure if I completely understand your post, but I'll try to answer you.

Ribadu had the best security around him, he had access to money, and he was given unlimited power. Now what else was left?
Given all the things Ribadu had to himself during his time, I honestly do not see any big deal in getting the job done correctly and I do not think he's special at all. Even a blind man could have handled the position much better with all that power.

People like late GANI FAWEHINMI and late KEN SARO-WIWA did not have access to anything but fought like troopers. They did not care about nothing, all they wanted was justice and the rebirth of this nation.

On the other hand, Mr. Ribadu was power hungry, was selfish, was stupid, was corrupt, was very unprofessional and clearly unorganized.

Whether it was swung by Ribadu or Farida, what is important is that an elite thief, for once, is paying for his crimes. And the neon light says, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!

Ribadu should be castrated for having any reaction toward Bode George's sentencing, he should be ashamed of himself.

olinco:

We are dreaming in circles, from nightmares to wet dreams yet we refuse to awake! I have found out that most of us still fail to see the wood for the trees and not until then we shall forever remain asleep. A corrupt cop condemning a gangland mafia boss?

Ribadu doesn't deserve any credit

The former anti-graft boss was reported to have said Chief George’s conviction, along with four others, was the result of the efforts of the EFCC under his leadership.

But the ANPP has rejected that assertion, saying, in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Mr. Emma Eneukwu and made available to the media in Abuja, on Sunday, that Mallam Ribadu could not take the glory of the legal victory that he did everything to scuttle, as EFCC boss.

The statement posited that the same case demonstrated the double standards applied by the former EFCC boss in the fight against corruption, as he allegedly operated according to the whims and caprices of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and “protected government’s friends while hounding its perceived enemies.”

The ANPP wondered whether Mallam Ribadu had forgotten so soon, that after his investigation indicted George, he was made a member of a presidential administrative panel that returned a verdict of innocence on the former NPA boss.
