This is how it is done. Not all that rubbish we got from efcc. The thief lands uk barely 3hrs ago, he has already been charged. Ibori's own if finished. I was speaking to a top uk barristar, and from what I gather, the man is in hot soup, probably looking at least 12yrs min 8yrs

One of Nigeria's most influential and wealthy politicians, James Ibori, has been charged in London with 25 offences relating to money laundering and fraud.

The former governor of oil-rich Delta state was extradited from Dubai to the UK to face the charges.

He was arrested in Dubai last May and lost an appeal against his extradition. He denies allegations of corruption.

Mr Ibori is a senior figure in Nigeria's governing People's Democratic Party (PDP).

He was due to appear at a London court on Saturday, Scotland Yard said.

Mr Ibori played a key role in the 2007 presidential election victory of Umaru Yar'Adua, who died last year.

Under Nigeria's federal system, state governors enjoy wide powers.

Those running oil-rich states have budgets larger than those of some African

nice, nice

Something to finally smile about

@ News.

I'm going to pop champagne tonight.

I thought tthe news before now was that all charges has been dropped against him and that he was on his way to Nigeria. So how did this latest event came about?

we have been celebrating in my household since. This is the way justice should be done. Swift. 3hrs after arriving the UK he is charged. he will probably appear at a crown court sometime next week or after easter, then wahala will start for him

Good one!

@Fogman,
Actually the news was that Gej was negotiating his release and had agreed to trade a couple of thousand barrels of Nigerian oil to the British govt in order to have all the charges dropped. source? Sahara Reports of course.

but same sahara reporters broke the news, so give them a break
