I guess this is a case of do not bite the fingers that feeds you. A civil servant in Bauchi State who made a Facebook post questioning the financial integrity of the State Governor has been dismissed. Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State ordered the dismissal of Abbas Faggo over a Facebook comment in which he accused the governor of corruption.
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”.
The termination of the appointment took effect from October 10 this year when he was first suspended.
Mr. Faggo’s troubles started when he accused the governor of monumental fraud and corruption, questioning the source of funding of the governor’s son’s wedding which took place recently.
Mr. Faggo had been arraigned by the Police before the Chief Magistrate of the state for the same offence.
However, the Chief Magistrate, Adamu Madaki, on Friday November 16, struck out the case against Mr. Faggo because “it was not properly filed.”
Below is the content of Mr. Faggo’s dismissal letter:
TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT

CSC/PRO/S/001/T.V dated 1st November 2012 to convey the commission’s
