SLIGHT:
Where did u get dis pics, this is problably d result of a shootout btw police and drug gangs and not a police takedown on unarmed drugpushers,as u make it look like. The mexican drug gangs are heavily armed {ironically by guns made in d us} and ruthless,if you remember last year they gave the police chief of ciudarez an ultimatum to resign or they kill two policemen each day, and that they did till he was forced to resign.
I was thinking the same thing

I put up a story indicating that Ribadu had gotten some reprieve from the PSC and his rank restored to AIG.It was pulled down by the powers that be for reasons best known to them & up till this moment nobody had thought it wise to put up such an important update again.The homepage story on Ribadu is stale and has been overtaken by events.Surely such news couldn't have missed Nairalanders' avid readers.

For the likes of JoAgbaje- Matthew 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, ye that work in iniquity!’" Be warned,stop leading millions astray.Your day of reckoning is coming.

Want to turn this into a religious debate? why not put aside your personal belief. . .Pastors (real or false) has nothing to do with this!

Last time I checked ''opportunistic'' Alfas and Herbalists also claim such, forgot to include them up there?. The spiritual controls the physical (believe it or not) and one man's pomo is another man's sandal. Rich or poor, jailed or free, just as there'l always be rich and poor, there'l be married and unmarried. Everyone's got their fair chance/opportunity, how you handle it is your cup of tea. Nuf Said!
The more reason why pastors must be included in the ongoing & interestin debate
PoliticsRibadu's Rank,restored To Aig by cold(op): 12:22am On May 26, 2010
Reprieve for Ribadu
Police reverse dismissal, restores his rank

Former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu got a rare reprieve on Monday with the reversal of his dismissal from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) commuted to retirement and restoration of his rank as Assistant Inspector General (AIG).

The development has confirmed Daily Sun’s exclusive report in the edition of Monday, March 29 that there was a move to restore the former EFCC chairman’s rank and withdraw court suits against him.
The report also added that Ribadu would return to Nigeria and likely be appointed Special Adviser on anti-corruption to the then Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan.

And not quite long after the report the Code of Conduct Bureau was prevailed upon to withdraw criminal charges against the former EFCC Chairman.
The demotion of the former anti-graft Czar to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), police sources confided in Daily Sun yesterday had equally been quashed and his AIG rank restored.
The reinstatement of the former anti-graft czar, Mallam Ribadu into the Nigeria Police Force as well as restoration of his controversial AIG rank, according to Daily Sun investigation, was at the instance of the Presidency, which prevailed on the Police Service Commission (PSC) to effect the changes.

Daily Sun gathered authoritatively that a top Presidency official invited the PSC Chairman, Parry Osayande to the Villa to direct to him to work out a modality to reabsorb Ribadu into the force with his AIG rank. It was also gathered that, when Osayande pointed it out to the Presidency the damage the action could do to the service and destruction it could do to the psyche of other officers whose irregular promotions were reversed, the Presidency was said to have insisted that it must be done to avoid a rancorous situation in the polity.

A reliable source close to the Presidency confided in Daily Sun that the insistence of the Presidency to get the adjustment done might not be unconnected with the intensive pressure from both the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK) in particular, on the Presidency to bring back Ribadu into the system.

The two powerful Western nations were quoted as holding the stance that Ribadu had done well for Nigeria in the war against corruption to their admiration and as such, should be brought back home to contribute more in the anti-graft war.

Acting on the briefs received from the Presidency, Osayande was said to have convened an emergency meeting of his Commission to deliberate on the matter.

The PSC, it was learnt, asked Ribadu to write a formal letter of apology for whatever must have happened and then demand that his dismissal be commuted to retirement while his rank be restored to the former controversial AIG.

A source close to the PSC meeting held on Monday, who spoke with Daily Sun on condition of anonymity said Osayande had a Herculean time convincing his members to do the Presidency’s bidding.

“All the Commission’s members, except Osayande himself, did not support the project as they did not speak well of Ribadu,” the source disclosed, adding that “the members were apprehensive of litigations that others in Ribadu’s shoes might institute.”

The Commission’s members, though admitted that Ribadu truly wrote a letter of apology, they smelt arrogance in the letter as they observed that the letter was more of justifications of Ribadu’s actions in the recent past.

At the end of the deliberations, Daily Sun learnt that the consensus of the members, which was at the instance of Osayande, who they respected so much, was that Ribadu could only be reinstated and be retired immediately with his AIG rank.

Confirming the reinstatement, the Executive Director, Communication, Mrs. Comfort Obi, explained that the Commission, though accepted Ribadu’s appeal by reinstating his rank, had to effect his immediate retirement after considering that his continued stay in the police force could affect the morale of the men in the service.
Ribadu was dismissed from the Force on December 23, 2008, following indictment over acts of insubordination by a panel headed by the current IGP, Onovo, who was then a Deputy Inspector-General of Police, while Mike Okiro was the IG.

Earlier, Ribadu was believed to have gained controversial promotion to the rank of AIG for being a loyal aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, but was demoted from the rank to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) after running into troubled water with the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, who removed him as the boss of EFCC.

Ribadu was then a student at the Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) when his demotion came but he refused to wear police uniform bearing the rank of a DCP during the graduation of the his set in NIPSS and the set’s visit to the late President Yar’Adua as was the customary for graduating students.
Ribadu was transferred to Benin but he refused to report for duty at his new duty post, saying he did not accept his demotion.

The disagreement between him and police authorities led to his trial by a panel constituted by the PSC which found him wanting, indicted him and recommended his dismissal.

Based on this report, the PSC board met and approved the recommendation and ordered his dismissal forthwith.
Ribadu, who went on exile after his dismissal, was later charged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal for non-declaration of assets, but had the charges dropped last week by the government.

Well that is pure nonsense. The punishment must be proportionate to the crime.
A more important point is that you don't take the law into your hands if only that such does could lead to blood feuds and an interminable cycle of revenge killing.
So what wld u define as a proportionate punishment in this circumstance?

Police Say Woman Shot Cousin Over Short Shorts On Easter
By Associated Press April 6, 2010 12:19 pm



COLUMBUS, Ohio – Police in Ohio say a woman shot her cousin to death during an argument that started because one woman didn’t think the other was dressed properly for Easter dinner.

Columbus police Officer Jean Holmes said in court Tuesday that the leg-baring shorts worn by 19-year-old Danielle Pickens sparked a verbal and physical confrontation with 42-year-old Evelyn Burgess on Sunday at Burgess’ home.

Police say Pickens walked outside to leave and Burgess shot her in the head with a handgun. Pickens died at a hospital early Monday.

Burgess is charged with one count of murder. During her initial court appearance Tuesday, Franklin County Municipal Court Judge William Pollitt set bond at $500,000.

There was no immediate comment from Burgess’ public defender.
