He was once detained for 4 months and kicked out of the EFCC by Farida Waziri for his criminal activities such as bribe taking and stealing recovered funds. Even the Police IG suspended him from the police for some time as a result of that.
It was the former Minster of Police Affairs, Adamu Waziri, that had him reinstated in the police Force after Alhaji Kashim Imam and Mallam Nuhu Ribadu made appeals on his behalf.
