The dismissal of Malam Nuhu Ribadu, former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), from the Nigeria Police Force last week would have come as no surprise to most Nigerians.

Fa fa fa fowl! As chief Zebrudiah in the Mascurade will say. For me and other pundits all over Nigeria who've been monitoring unfolding of events around Malam Ribadu, I strongly believe there is more to it than meet the eye. In every civil service or Military structure, Nigeria not an exception, there are procedures that are followed before someone is sacked. A summary dismisal for someone like Mallam Ribadu who have put Head and limb in line to perform his duties for the nation, something just didn't add up. I believe this must be probed maybe not in the present administration of corrupt politician but at a later more sane administrative dispensation. Our society have been poluted by the likes of IBB and cohorts who should be rounded up and imprisoned for their crimes before they polute irriversibly the fabric of the society. Nigeria does not belong to IBB, Ibori, Obasanjo etc. to warant them doing as they please.
