When things happen in Nigeria, I am not always surprised because I have come to reckon that anything can happen in this precious country of mine.
The dismissal of the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu picked on my attention because of the impact it might make on Nigerians who have been inspired by that gallant gentleman who staked his neck to hunt down corruption in Nigeria.
Yes he might have been used by some selfish persons to also execute their political will, but the fact is, those people that where clawed by the almighty arm of the EFCC piloted by Ribadu were all found wanting or what do you think?

Yes Ribadu gave in to preferentiality in his chase for corrupt public officers, yet billions of naira was recovered from the pockets of these pen bandits, 419 etc.
What I am trying to state here is the fact that Nigerians must stand to fight corruption, Nigerians must stand to protect Ribadu, we must show concern about what is happening to a man who once took so much risk for us, we should protect and encourage other Nigerians who have been inspired by the sacrificial act of the former EFCC Boss and have made up their minds if given such opportunity to dispose such character, having it behind their minds that incase anything happens to them, their actions and sacrifice will not be in vain.
If he was dismissed legitimately from the Nigeria Police Force, yet his life must be protected otherwise those guys he dared- “stepped on their toes” during his time as Chairman of the EFCC could come after his life and want to sniff it off.
Let us also appeal to the National Police Commission, National Executive Council, National Assembly, Judiciary and other authorities, you say how? At least write articles, letters, hold press conferences, television and radio interviews etc.
When they receive riot of letters from Nigerians, it will give a good pressure. Let us appeal for Ribadu because he is still a great asset of Nigeria that should not be wasted. Do you know he still have some vital information and experience that could help in the development of our future national security.
