Abbas Faggo, a Bauchi State Civil Servant has been dismissed from the state civil service for posting a Facebook comment questioning the financial integrity of the government.
In a letter signed by Ibrahim Shehu on behalf of the state head of service, the government gave reasons for his dismissal saying his “service is no longer needed”.
Mr. Faggo had sometime ago accused the governor of corruption, questioning the source of funding of the governor’s son’s wedding which which was recently celebrated via a Facebook note.
Faggo was arrested and 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 the civil servant saying “it was not properly filed”.
Read the appointment termination letter below:

This is shows that the governor and his cabal are criminals, they could have allow him to depend himself in the court and let the court decide, but went ahead and sacked him, Yuguda and his cabal should start preparing facing judicial committee of inquiry , EFCC, ICPC by 2015.
He really should sue. How does a Facebook note constitute a crime? And the government just confirmed that it is guilty
This is absolute rubbish, so a citizen of a state can't question the governor if he/she notices any fowl play. He should sue the head of service and the governor.
