Ibori's Bribe Money To Ribadu. $15m With Cbn, Says Efcc

There are still no answers to some of the questions over the $15million in dispute between former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) chairman Nuhu Ribadu and former Delta Governor James Ibori.

Ribadu has, in a witness statement to the London Metropolitan Police, claimed that Ibori offered the $15milion as bribe to cover up his track.

But Ibori, in a statement on Monday, said he did not bribe Ribadu and the fact that the ex-EFCC chairman deposited $15million in CBN could not be a proof that he gave the money to him.

"If you go to the Federal High Court, Asaba, all the relevant documents relating to the $15million are attached to the charges against Ibori. The correspondences between the EFCC and the CBN are also parts of the court papers.
"The Investigating Police Officer, who handled the matter, is still in the EFCC.
"It is left to the court to determine whether the $15million was a bribe money or not."
