CHAI - IBORI TO BE PICKED BY THE EFCC TO FACE CASE AFRESH

EFCC goes after Ibori with 170-count charge

EFCC goes after Ibori with 170-count charge
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arrest former Delta state governor James Ibori who just returned from serving around six years in a UK jail.
The charges followed allegations that Ibori diverted N40bn Delta state government funds while in power and tried to bribe ex-EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu with $15m cash.
Although the an Asaba High Court struck out the 170 charges levelled against Ibori, an appeal by EFCC was granted by a three-man panel of justices at Appeal Court, Benin Division on May 15, 2014, saying that corruption matter against the ex-governor should be reopened when he completes his jail term in the UK.
“As things stand, the EFCC has the right to arrest him at anytime. Ibori, among other allegations, was accused of embezzling N40bn which belonged to the state. Also, a former Chairman of the EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, alleged that the former governor attempted to bribe him with $15m cash.”
He has since paid a visit to the offices of the Department of State Services (DSS) after he was picked up by operatives of the secret police on his arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
Ignoring the level of corruption that landed Ibori in a London jail, an aide to Delta state governor Ifeanyi Okowa,Ovie Success Ossai, has said that the ex-governor did well for the state.
Ossai said though Ibori was made to pass through hard time in the United Kingdom, he is worthy of emulation.
He wondered how many politicians in Nigeria could boast of being welcome and celebrated even from prison as Ibori was given by the people of Delta state.
