James Ibori Wins Case Against UK Government, Gets £1 In Compensation by Nagisa: 2:06pm On May 23, 2017
Former Delta State Governor, James Ibori who was released after serving 13 years in a UK prison last December has won his case against the UK Government for unlawful detention by the British Home Secretary, Amber Rudd.

Ibori whose case was heard before Justice Cheema-Grubb was awarded the sum of £1 (1 pound) as damages by the London High Court.

UK Evening Standard reports that the presiding judge in his ruling declared that Ibori was unlawfully held for one day, 18 hours and 10 minutes between December 20 and 21 last year and has such awarded the £1 to be paid to James Ibori as damages as against the £4,000 demanded by the former governor in his suit.

Justice Cheema-Grubb while delivering his ruling said: “There is no compensatory loss to Mr Ibori and I fix nominal damages at £1.”

See better slap grin grin grin


Nigerians are so hilarious. See this...

A man who claimed to have finished his secondary education at the age of 12 and served before he graduated wrote a book.

Another man who falsely declared his assets after running a bank aground wrote the foreword.

A woman who said the $15m traced to her was an inheritance from her late mother who died a petty trader was the special guest of
honour.

And the title of the book is..... *ANTIDOTE For CORRUPTION*
Who are these people

the presiding judge in his ruling declared that Ibori was unlawfully held for one day, 18 hours and 10 minutes between December 20 and 21 last year

I guess that was before he was charged to court and later jailed. Nigerian Police holds people more than the stipulated 48hrs without charging them to court though.

Do you really want us to share this with our friends? Really? Shame on you. When he was jailed you did not ask us to share the news with our friends but because he won a case of unlawful detention for ONE DAY, you now want to share this. I am sure if people like you ever get to power, your corruption will be unprecedented and second to none.
