Governor Ibori, Wife, In $360M Oil Deal in London by Odeku(m): 11:05pm On Nov 27, 2005
Is this How our governors govern us in Nigeria?
Chief James Onanefe Ibori, the Governor of Delta State and his wife, Theresa Nkoyo have been fingered in a messy - six million barrels of Nigerian Bonny Light- oil deal amounting to 360 million U. S dollars in the United Kingdom.

According to an on-line media outfit, Elendureports.com- based in the United State of American, a few weeks ago, Whitehills Corporation Limited offered in its advertorial in London to sell six million barrel of Nigerian Bonny Light to interested parties, and also promised to supply the amount of oil every month. “One could have dismissed this as another fraudulent scheme by some Nigerians, except that the company listed Tessi Ibori as the Company Secretary, while the Chief Executive Officer {CEO}is Okey Ilo”, added the media outfit.

However, investigations by our source revealed that Tessi Ibori is the same person as Theresa Nkoyo Ibori, wife of the Delta State Governor. Tessi, a British citizen- born in January 1968, was appointed the Company Secretary in November 2001- nearly two years after the husband became the governor of Delta state.

Whitehills Corporation Limited is said to have its registered office at St. Andrew Court, St. Andrew Road, London, E176AX while Tessi's house is located at 7 Westover Hill, North West London. According to our source, the Ibori's wife London address is in a gated community with a host of British guards and gardeners.

Hear our source: “Visitors can only be buzzed into the estate. Closed Circuits' cameras are mounted in strategic places around the premises with collection of expensive cars in the garage including Bentley. The house is owned by Governor Ibori”.

More so, search by the source for the growing rate of houses in the area shows that number 10 Westover Hill was purchased on October 18, 2003 for 0ne million, seven hundred thousand pounds and number 14 was purchased on May 31, 2001 for two million, three hundred thousand pounds. “The complexity of Ibori's story explains the insidious nature of tax haven and sundry Island, which offer career company directors who front for many Nigerians”, our source added.

Newsday gathered that Governor Ibori is one of the governors being investigated by the London Metropolitan Police and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, {EFCC} for alleged money laundering. Popularly referred to as “Oil Sheik” by his colleagues, security sources said Governor Ibori is one of the richest governors in the country. And since the arrest of Governor D. S. P Alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa State in London, Ibori and others are said not to be in a hurry to travel to Europe.

However, Abel Osheveire, Special Adviser to Ibori on Media Matters told Elendureports.Com that his boss does not own a house in London. When reminded of the house in Westover Hill, Oshevire said: “You know Tessi was born in London; maybe, that is her father's house”.

He however confirmed that Ibori stays in the house whenever he is in London.

Except this is another one, I think I heard about the Iboris story some months ago.

Over the weekend there were some unconfirmed reports from "Bayelsan Insiders" that the Goodluck Jonathan's (the deputy who took over Alams) wife was arrested in London. I'm yet to see the story on any newspaper. I just hope she hasnt decided to follow in the footsteps Alams n his wife

@Odeku
What other evidence do u need 2 prove Obj is the father of corruption? Look around. Nigeria is almost a failed state. Isn't that enough evidence?
Re: Governor Ibori, Wife, In $360M Oil Deal in London by ono(m): 1:00pm On Aug 14, 2006
deep,
Me too. I heard about that Ibori gist some months back. But, it has since died a natural death for want of ''credibility''. Anyway, who does not know that ''corruption'' is the ''tap root'' of the Nigerian society? Cut off corruption, and Nigeria will ''die''. Nigeria cannot ''survive'' without corruption.

You've got to be a ''dibia'' to understand which context I used ''survive'' in there.

OBJ is not the cause of poverty and corruption in Nigeria, yes back in the days he had his share and has tried to mend his ways. How many years did this useless Northerners rule Nigeria? over 30 years, so most of out problem should be directly link to their embezzlement and mismanagement of funds.
