Additionally, they pressured the hospital to withhold my medical records from my attorneys. This was later confirmed by the Turkish Ministry of Health when my friend met with their officials in Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRibadu emphasized that he wanted billions in payouts to fund his future political ambition. However, when the corruption scandal came to light, he was trapped\u2014because any settlement would now be perceived as a bribe. I guess he really wanted his boss\u2019s job&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also said Ribadu&#8217;s actions humiliated and disgraced Nigeria on the international scene as he arrogated to himself the influence and importance he clearly did not have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRibadu even hired a U.S. law firm to negotiate my release, but this failed due to their incompetence and greed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRibadu overstepped his authority and embarrassed Nigeria in front of U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Ribadu acting like an asshole angered the White House and led to diplomatic repercussions\u2014the U.S. limited visas to the Nigerian delegation for UNGA, and Biden refused to meet with Tinubu until my situation was resolved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, Ribadu overestimated his influence. They thought they could secure a quick win, but instead, they created an international incident, exposing his incompetence on a global scale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s it for me for now. I don\u2019t want to dwell on this, but it\u2019s important for Nigerians to get the facts. I met amazing people in Nigeria.
