UK to Return £6.8m Ibori Loot to Nigeria

November 5, 2014 by Don Saint 2 Comments

The United Kingdom government is set to return an additional £6.8 million of the confiscated loot of former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, to Nigeria.
The UK Metropolitan Police Senior Investigator, Mr. Rupert Broad, disclosed this in London yesterday at a meeting on “Supporting Policing in Nigeria: What Role for Police in the Nigerian Diaspora” held in the House of Commons, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported.

He also said an additional £80 million had been temporarily confiscated from Ibori and his associates, including one of his lawyers, Mr. Patrice Gohil.
“Approximately, £80 million is temporarily frozen and a confiscation hearing has been fixed for April 2015, where the judge will determine how much was stolen, after which it would be returned to Nigeria.”

The British Southcrown Court in April 2012 sentenced Ibori to 13 years jail term for fraud and money laundering.
