The wife of the former Governor of Delta State, Theresa Ibori, has been sentenced to jail for five
years by a London jury after she was found guilty on a two count-charge of money
laundering.

Found guilty with Mr Ibori’s
attorney, Bhadresh Gohil, who was on trial with Theresa. Mr Gohil was found guilty on a similar charge and was remanded in police custody. He will be sentenced after the
conclusion of another trial
involving the laundering of
proceeds of V-Mobile shares by James Ibori, Henry Imashekka, David Edevbie and former Akwa Ibom governor, Victor Attah. The trial will commence next Monday.

The recent anti-corruption
campaign on the Ibori ’s has also seen the conviction of the former governor ’s sister
Christine Ibori-Ibie; and mistress, Udoamaka Okoronkwo-Onuigbo in a previous trial for helping
him move an estimated £70
million worth of looted funds
through several London banks.

The two women are currently serving five-year jail terms each in a London prison.
