Trial Of James Ibori Commences; Delta State Sponsors 50 Supporters To London by monkeyleg: 12:38pm On Jun 25, 2011
James Onanefe Ibori arrived at the Southwark Crown Court 1 before Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC today to face series of charges over the theft of $290 million from Delta State, over which he was governor for eight years.

Ibori appearance this morning was for a preliminary hearing to determine if Mr. Ibori should face trial with Elias Preko. Mr. Preko, a Ghanaian and former Goldman Sachs banker, was Ibori's London financial adviser, and he was brought to court as well. He had been named in a series of deals involving Ibori, Henry Imashekka and Orji Kalu, the former governor of Abia State, in offshore accounts in Guernsey. Specifically, Mr. Preko was involved in setting up offshore accounts in Guernsey where Ibori deposited £ 3 million and he was also fingered in the purchase of a $20 million purchase of a private jet for Ibori. Ibori's case Number is T20117192.

Curiously, today, about 50 Ibori supporters of took over the premises of the Southwark Crown Court, perhaps in a pre-determined strategy to ensure that the court is not dominated by eager Nigerians who see Ibori as a symbol of the corruption in their homeland. SaharaReporters learnt that most of the "supporters" were sponsored the Delta state government.

Thief. . .well, maybe. I read recently that Patricia Etteh was cleared of all ''charges'' brought against her sometime ago by the House of Representatives. She did not commit any of the crimes levelled against her and she's free. Lets see how Ibori's case will play out.
