How many UK,official you're seen with British hard earn in Nigeria banks

The United Kingdom has launched a fresh bid to confiscate “proceeds of loot” in the £117 million worth of properties linked to James Ibori, former governor of Delta state.

In 2012, a UK court sentenced Ibori – who governed Delta from 1999 to 2007 – to prison after convicting him of fraud and money laundering.

The former governor ended his jail term in 2016 and returned to Nigeria the following year.

In the course of his jail term, British prosecutors made the first attempt to confiscate his assets said to be proceeds of crime but failed as a result of unresolved legal issues.

Subsequent attempts to seize the properties also hit the rock even as Ibori’s appeal against his conviction was unsuccessful.

However, Reuters is reporting that the process to confiscate the properties was re-launched in court on Thursday.

Jonathan Kinnear, a British prosecutor, was said to have listed the assets UK is seeking to seize from the former governor “and return to Nigerian public funds.

Kinnear was quoted to have said the total value of the “known proceeds of his (Ibori’s) crimes” is £117 million (equivalent of about N55.4 billion) but that “only a portion of that sum is likely to be recoverable.”

In 2018, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said Ibori is “ fighting tooth and nail ” to stall the confiscation of those assets.

In an edition of its monthly media publication, EFCC ALERT, the anti-graft agency had said Ibori is on a “campaign of calumny” targeted at UK police officers in retaliation of his conviction.

The report, written by Segun Adeoye, an assistant editor of the publication, also accused him of employing media propaganda to paint himself as “a victim of persecution.”

So many people died, some of whom died as a result of bad roads, some died as a result of no good health care system, some died out of hunger, no job. Many kids are not going to school because their unemployed parents couldn’t send them to school.

Why? Because these God forsaken criminals called leaders are looting us dry. Because they refused to us the funds provided for public use, but stashed it somewhere in a bank that is not even in Nigeria.

Few years ago, Dangote needed a loan for his factory, none of the Nigerian banks, even combined can give him such loan, he had to seek it elsewhere. Probably in the UK, the same UK £117million is stashed, money that was taken away from Nigeria in the 1st place.

And then some useless people whose kids can’t go to a better school, who cannot get a better job after graduation etc. will be here justifying this common criminal. I pity Nigerians.

I wish this man could rot in jail, I wish so many of them are put to jail the same way Orji uzor Kalu is in jail right now. I hope all of them be held accountable for the crimes they committed, crimes against humanity. These people incompetent leadership sent millions of Nigerians to early graves.

This bastard supposed to be cooling in prison.

HopeAlive14:
Why first allow the stolen money in only to confiscate it later?

"Civilized robbery" as someone put it.
