‘No reason to attack Ribadu’ SEPTEMBER 24, 2013 BY SESAN OLUFOWOBI A former Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, on Monday faulted the claims by a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, that he (Okiro) plotted to kill him. Ribadu, while giving evidence in a case involving James Ibori in London, was reported as saying that he was shot at on his way to the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies. However, the former police boss in a statement said Ribadu’s claims were false. He said, “Nigerians will remember that Nuhu Ribadu once caused a newspaper publication to be made to the effect that he was attacked and shot at on his way to NIPSS. “The Commissioners of Police, FCT, Abuja; Nasarawa, Kaduna and Plateau, the likely state commands where the incident could have taken place, told me that no such incident occurred in their commands. For him to turn round now and say that I was involved “in attempts to assassinate him” demonstrates double speak. He was an Assistant Inspector-General of Police under me. Why would I want to assassinate a subordinate officer?” Punch
