A former Chairman of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, on Thursday, said the
decision by the Police Service Commission to demote him, and later dismiss him
from the Nigeria Police Force was invalidated by the court, necessitating the
reversal of the action by the Federal Government.
He dismissed insinuations that his
rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police, was returned to him in 2010 due
to the Federal Government’s magnanimity.
Ribadu said this in Lagos at a
public lecture to mark the official opening of a new law office of a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo.
He praised Oyetibo, who handled the
case, saying it was one of the lawyer’s “many historic victories.”
He said, “I’m here today not just to
honour my brother Barrister Tayo Oyetibo, SAN, but to sincerely express a depth
of gratitude for his selfless contributions to my personal and public service
career. My relationship with this remarkable lawyer is one for which I must
forever remain grateful. He has stood with me, believed in my causes while I
was at EFCC and dedicated his time and resources to representing us pro bono.”
