Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has listed its inceptive Chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as a star witness to testify against the former Governor of Delta State, Mr. James Ibori.

Ribadu had in an affidavit accused Ibori of giving him $15m in 2007 in a bid to dissuade the former EFCC boss from initiating any case against him. However, after receiving the cash, Ribadu had entered it into evidence after which it was kept in the vault of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

According to Saturday PUNCH, Ribadu had said, “Ibori approached me with $15m to stop his investigation. The money was brought in sacks. I called my people because the money was in big bags, which two people could not carry and we deposited it in the CBN as evidence against him.”

In July 2012, the EFCC approached a Federal High Court in Abuja, requesting for a final order forfeiting the $15m Ibori bribe which had been in the vaults of the CBN for more than five years to the Federal Government as unclaimed proceeds of crime. Justice Gabriel Kolawole on October 25, 2013, awarded the Federal government ownership of the $15m Ibori bribe which was the subject of legal tussle between the EFCC and the Delta State Government.

When asked to react to information that the Attorney General of the Federation had listed him among the Federal Government’s list of witnesses against Ibori, Ribadu said, “I am not aware. But if I am asked to testify, I will. But like I told you, nobody has contacted me”, according to Saturday PUNCH.

However, after the ex-governor was released on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 from a UK prison, EFCC is expected to amend the charges brought against him in order to avoid a case of double jeopardy.

James Ibori this is my advice to you; stay away from politics for now, pledge loyality to the ruling party and remain in peace without noise. Then your days of peace will be long in today's NIGERIA. Smarter and more ruthless men are on board this ship now.

Smarter men like who and who Tinubu,Buhari or Saraki

Charity should begun at home in the crusade against corruption. Is Iboris corruption different form Tinubu's, Amechis, or Atikus? Let's stop playing to the gallery and prosecute anyone found corrupt no matter the name!
Ibori is a thief no doubt, but is your thief different from this thief?

And you feel you made sense abi .. Its unconstitutional to arrest Ibori again, unless he commits another crime. Quote me with facts from the constitution, lets argue like sane humans

He has never been tried for this Ribadu bribery case yet, so there is nothing unconstitutional about arresting him if and when he lands in naija. The cases for which he was tried and sentenced to prison in the UK are totally different matters.

Make them allow this man rest small na.

Different matters .How What matter, pls educate me

Bahuri is already a toothless and a clawless lion. In two years now how many cases of corrupt politicians are cleared and jailed. Even the returned loots are unaccounted for. That is where we are. The system made him so. Too many bads......just too many. I don't see magic for the remaining two years. Now....the long throat for second tenure is his worst enemy!
