Bauchi Civil Servant Fired After Posting Critical Piece On Facebook
Civil servant Abbas Ahmed Faggo was officially terminated this week, one month after angering Gov. Isa Yuguda with a Facebook posting that questioned the source of funding of his son’s lavish wedding.
Mr. Faggo’s alleged comment had prompted Bauchi State Commissioner of Justice Barrister Almustapha Suleiman Hassan to lodge a complaint before the State Criminal Investigation Department. Police arraigned Faggo and charged him with injurious false hood and defamation against the administration of Governor Isa Yuguda.
Yesterday, Bauchi State Chief Magistrate Court number three officially discharged Mr. Faggo, a state Finance Ministry employee.
A letter terminating Mr. Faggo’s appointment and signed by one Ibrahim Shehu for the Head of Service of the State, said his appointment was terminated “because his services are no longer needed”.
In the case heard in the magistrate’s court, the prosecution accused Faggo of using his mobile telephone number to forward a message on his Facebook profile on Sept. 4, alleging that the state had paid for the wedding of the state governor’s son, which took place at the Azare area of the state on Sept. 8.
The state’s case against Faggo generated comments from over 500 people, including politicians, the Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO, prompting the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, to express interest in defending the accused person.
Gov. Isa Yuguda has been in hot water over his expenditures since he purchased a house as a graduation gift for the son who attended school in the UK. The house cost an estimated N255 million and is reported to be located along Lake Chad Crescent near rows of luxurious houses belonging to former and present governors.
The first son of Governor Isa Yuguda’s first wife has become the owner a luxurious house at Maitama, Abuja. The source of the monies used to purchase the house has come under question.
Counsel to the accused who is the Bauchi State chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Barrister Mohammed Alhassan faulted charges against the accused. According to him, the consent of the Director of Public Prosecution was not sought while as he said only the aggrieved person who is Governor Isa Yuguda has the right to complain about the matter not the state commissioner of Justice.
250million whatever!
For me, Sahara holds the blame for this unnecessary controversy of N250m / $250m. Why? SR goes all the way to get exclusive stories & make it available on line, but can not go a little further by protecting this quality work by filtering off contaminating comments that divert all attention away from the core of the stories. Most comments published don't align with d stories. SR pl do a little more due dilligence by filtering off these rubbish. The site is really being rubished with pple pouring out hatred & tribalistic venoms.
U re so right yet so wrong.
U re so right yet so wrong. The ans to 1 is definitely wrong cuz believe it or not the North contributes to mineral resources, music, comedy,sports(note that the kano pillars emerged champions in federation cup) and nollywood/kano. But u re so blind and ur heart filled with hatred that u fail to understand this.

ISA IS A DERAILED MAN
IT BAFFLES ME IF I REMEMBER I AM FROM BAUCHI I BECOME SO PETRIFIED,PISSED OFF AND CONFUSED .I LEFT BAUCHI 94 TO KANO AND NOW ABUJA.
ISA YUGUDA IS A DERAILED MAN HE HAD WHAT WAS CALLED THE HOPELESS BUDGET IN NIGERIA. BORROWING 70BILLION TO FINANCE 2011 BUDGET AND NOW 80BILLION TO FINANCE 2012 BUDGET. THE ONLY THING THAT MAKE ME BELIEVE ISA YUGUDA IS REALY EXSTING COMPAIRED TO THEM AKPABIO,KWANKWASO,SULE LAMIDO AND FASHOLA WAS THE FACT THAT GOD RAISED FIRAUN(FERROW) AND PROPHET MUSA(MOSES) FROM THE SAME PALACE. I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT OF ISA YUGUDA AS HALLUCINATION DREAM. BUT HONESTLY ABUJA GOVERNOR IS VERY DISGUSTING. I REMEMBER IN KANO THE SITTING GOVERNOR then 2010 SHEKARAU BOUGHT A CAR FOR THE OPPOSITION SPOKES PERSON THAT CRITICIZE SHEKARAU GOVERNMENT EVERY DAY AT FREEDOM RADIO HE ALSO GAVE HIM 1MIL. FOR FUEL.
Gov Isa Yuguda
Once again, a Nigerian governor has shown that he has been promoted beyond his ability to rule. This civil servant has an excellent chance of overturning his dismissal in court.
He should continue his Facebook campaign, as it will show this dunce of a governor what he really is - a corrupt dunce.
Insert all the evidence of Yuguda's corruption on that page and I guarantee that the governor will come around quickly, as his reputation will drop like a stone.
Good luck.
A Wedding Gift vs A Lost Job?
The real issue is where did the young graduate source the funds to but the house? Is it a gift from His Excellency or perhapos a goodwill gesture from the good people of Bauchi? Unfortunately, governors have an immutable immunity but sacking any Nigerian for voicing an opiniom on Fcaebook seems to be stretching credulity too far, over to you NBA>
CRAZY YUGUDA.
You are crazy yuguda. God purnish your generation.
This dangerous thief called Yuguda
The criminal conduct of this rogue calling himself Bauchi State governor is typical of the bandits and and thieves that have been imposed on the respective states through rigged elections. Yuguda or whatever this semi-literate bastard calls himself is one of the most irresponsible and incompetent tin gods ruling any state in Nigeria. The idiot is hardly in Bauchi State, reportedly frolicking with prostitutes and over-indulging in beer consumption in Abuja. Bauchi is one of the most backward places in the country yet the only thing this immoral and useless Yuguda knows how to do is massively steal the state's money that is used to support the sinful and criminal life styles of himself, his numerous wives, concubines, harlots and spoiled children. Unpatriotic and dangerous parasites like this Yuguda have made the North a breeding ground for all kinds of alienated and extreme elements like the Boko Haram terrorists.
Bauchi, Yuguda's personal company.
Yuguda, can u pls tell Nigerians how much did u acquire Bauchi from d federal Govt of Nigeria?
YUGUDA FIRED BAUCHI CIVIL SERVANT?
GOVERNOR ISAH YUGUDA, MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH REFUSE TO PARDON YOU SINCE YOU REFUSED TO PARDON THIS GENTLEMAM.
Check SNG First Lecture
Its so embarrassing that "we no longer blush". Everyone, including all arms of gov,heads of ministries and departments, public and private corporations, is fast to check "corruption" as Nigeria's malaise. Its high time we redefined corruption to include all legal illegalities.

Long live the United States of the SS & SE Republic
Are you saying there is no
Are you saying there is no house in Abuja that values N225million? I cant see anywhere in the story where Sahara reporters put the value of the alleged house gift as $225million.
GANGSTER YUGUDA
What do expect in a country hijaked by criminals parading themselves as democrats with a foolish followership.
Reversing the gains of orange revolution
Yuguda is a dictator in civil attire. He deducted 10% of workers salary as contribution to the wedding of his child in Abuja. He governs BAuchi from Abuja, as his iterenary showed he spent average of only 4-10 days in a month in Bauchi. He is buidling an airport when Gombe bound planes stops in Bauchi three times in Bauchi per week due to low patronage. I urge EFCC to verify the same details which the dismissed civil servant reposted on his facebook to seek if Yuguda will not share room with Ibori after 2015.
Nigeria's definititon of democracy
Democracy is supposed to allow me air my views without prejudice, but how do you explain this one. He as a patriotic Nigerian wanted to know how his money is being spent, and the next thing is for them to charge him to court and sack him. This is unfair and not good for our democracy. But Governor Yuguda remember if you can do that to your fellow man, God exists and he has a way of punishing those who oppress the poor. Just remember that.
god save the mass
the truth is always bitter to tell
Yugudu and ur like Allah ya isa
Dis is really absurd as a democratic nation any has freedom of speech, but luk at how commissioner 4 justice acted upon revealin a heinous secret of our useless leaders, dey re jus lootin n squandarin pples treasury witout any account 2 dt. But Allah ya isa wlh azzalumai machuta
go an see Dr. for ur glass
the amoumt is N225million not $225million
Dollars or Naira
The annonimous fellow said no house in Abuja with value of 225 million Dollars. But what i read from the report was that the house cost an estimated value of 225 million Naira. Can somebody help me to verify whether am correct please.
YOU ARE WRONG
There is no place where this report refers to any house of $255 million but rather, it says #255 million (Nigerian currency). Read it again.
Commissioner sue person on behalf of governor?
I used to think a commissioner of Justice was to intervene in judicial matters on behalf of the entire state and not to act as the personal attorney to a governor of the state where he is the commissioner. What a sorry thing! The good thing is the stupid maggots living on borrowed time know the heat is on them now i.e they have the time to be checkinng facebook posts.
Facebook comment wahala
N255 milion u guys take out time to read tru write ups be posting comments please
@Yuguda
Sahara reporters said #255 million not$255million as u claimed. Please read the story again
EFCC is turning a blind eye
This is a clear case of two Nigerians; Isa Yaguda represents the thiefing public officials who are stealing the country blind, while Ahmed Faggo represents the impoverished Nigerians who continue to suffer and die in abject poverty as a result of the corrupt officials.
EFCC is turning a blind eye. They are busy collecting debts for a fee for individuals. "Nigeria we hail thee"
Yaguda is a Thief
What are the value of houses in Abuja? Birds of the same feather. You are protecting your thifing master. I am sure you are among those that steal Nigeria and Nigerians blind. Shameless!

N to $
I'm sorry but must ask who the IDIOT who alleged $ value was used just to discredit this report?
I seem to wish that all these BASTARDS resisting positive change should die; lets leave God out of this because this is purely mortal matters. Abi was God not around when the Jews(God's people) suffered "unimaginably" in the hands of Hitler and His cronies?
Whoever you are, I spit at you and all you represent, including all who represent you too
Yuguda abi whatever you call
Yuguda abi whatever you call yourself....Sahara said N225 and not $225...Please wear your glasses
one jobless for doing d right thing
I wonder how we'v come to this level of lawlessness .the state govs are now above the Law.they are still clamouring for state police with this their unchecked powers.I'm sure if granted .faggo would be in jail by now. Posterity will judge thse unscruplous Mediocres.
