UK to return ex-Delta Governor James Ibori's £6.8m loot to Nigeria

The UK has agreed to return an additional £6.8m to Nigeria from the money seized from jailed ex-Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori.

This was revealed by UK Metropolitan Police Senior Investigator, Mr. Rupert Broad, yesterday November 4th in London according to a report by NAN. Out of the £8 million confiscated from Ibori, £1.2 million had so far been returned to Nigeria.


There are reports that an additional £80 million has been temporarily seized and a confiscation hearing has been fixed for April 2015 before the judge decides exactly how much was stolen out of the £80 million and then return it to Nigeria
 
Ibori who is still serving a jail term, was sentenced by the British Southcrown Court in April 2012 for 13 years after being convicted for fraud and money laundering.

Oh my...

If only they could decide what we should do with the money, in which the plan would involve creating something beneficial to the country.

...but the truth is, like all others previously returned - it'll become "stories for the gods"

Returning it will not do any good for the masses, its better its kept over there in the uk

Sometimes when you read this kind of news, you don't know whether to be happy or sad. Why? Cos the money will still miss road as it missed the first time and this time no body will be accountable for it. It will simply enter voice mail.

I wish God can do sometin for this country.
It is so bad, we youths are jst suffering, Goodluck Jonathan failed the youths, if only APC could produce a better person than Buhari and Atiku.
This money wil go back to Ibori, and how much does it cost to build a refinary for the country? God please change my story cos Nigeria is hell already.
