Former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Usman Oyibe Jibrin (retd.), CFR has cried out saying that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) wants to kill him.

In an open letter to Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the EFCC, the former naval boss revealed that: “I regret to state that my life has been under threat by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) since my retirement from active service of the Nigerian Navy on the 14 July 2015.”

“This is sequel to the fact that some cabals are hiding under the executive orders of Mr. President to settle scores against me on the perceived injustice allegedly meted on them by the Nigerian Navy during my tenure as the chief of the naval staff.”

“I decided to put my thought in writing because of information made available to me from very reliable sources that plans have been concluded to plant incriminating evidence against me by operatives of the EFCC.”

“My life is at stake, my dignity is at stake, my integrity is at stake and my name is at stake.  I respect the rule of law and detest injustice. Fairly minded officers and men of the Nigerian Navy and those in other services who worked closely with me could attest to this assertion.”

“Contrary to your perception, not all Nigerians are corrupt.  I have never been involved in politics, hence one wonders whose interest my present predicament is been served.”

He is one of the ex-service chiefs that is currently facing charges of corruption.
