CERTAINLY not the best of times for the former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ononefe Ibori.
Reports have it that a court in the United Kingdom is about to order the seizure of more than £100 million ($129 million) from the former Delta State governor.
This comes about six years after Ibori’s return to Nigeria after serving a prison sentence for money laundering and fraud charges.
The British authorities had indicted him for stealing public funds and laundering them through UK banks and properties with the trial on confiscation proceedings against Ibori beginning in February 2017.
According to reports, Judge David Tomlinson of Southwark Crown Court has made factual findings regarding the amount of money linked to the former governor.
The prosecution and the defence, during a hearing on Thursday, presented their arguments on how the confiscation figure should be calculated based on the judge’s findings.
Recently, Ibori and some former governors visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja in one of his rare public outings.
