only you, only you Ibori

I hear the guy has pled guilty. I hope they tie him to a stake and burn him.

God bless the british. They should keep helping us lock up our greedy scumfuck politicians, since corruption is apparently no longer a crime here. Maybe in four years time, we'll be looking at GEJ's picture.

hahahaha this is serious

Beaf:

Thank you. We don't take crap in Delta state, in other places the thief would have been hailed as a "performing governor." How many states have stadia in almost every town?
Damn! The phucker even won the best governor award too.

We Deltans were not fooled and there was a hurricane of EFCC petitions as soon as he left office.

Truth is Ibori was a far better governor than Uduahan, I can only imagine what will become of him when he leaves office,

What happens to all the money the Criminal in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria admitted to have stolen? The British should return Delta state's money ooooooo

How would the recovered money be accounted for?

I think special projects should be done in all the LGAs of Delta state from the recovered loot

Dont hand over the money to Uduaghan cos his own time is coming too

This sums Nigeria up; a complete useless country/crimeland. I spit on you.

Britain is doing our job for us. I think it's time to hand the country back to Britain.

If this picture purports to show Robin Hood Ibori in the custody of the police in the UK, then I must reach for my bullchit whistle and point out that the London Metropolitan Police would NEVER use a hand-written card in a mug-shot picture.

If that picture was taken in Nigeria, then it may be genuine, but if not, it is a beautifully doctored image.

I wish Lucky Igbinedion would b made to dance to the very music dis man is dancing to.

That mug shot is priceless

Infact our law enforcement bodies are all dead and buried. Was this not the same ibori that was acquited and discharge of charges of being and ex-convict by our judicial system, the same ibori that could not be arrested by our policemen and other law enforcement agencies. Nigerians, we still have a long way to go.

The Jailed Ibori Family may soon invite u 2 their thanksgiving like Bode George.[s][/s]

Nigeria is such a shame.

eastOFwest:

Shame on Nigeria(ns)

are you an alien? don't say that again. His name is James Ibori

A "thief in government house"

Ibori's wife, Theresa, his sister, Christine, his mistress, Udoamaaka Okoronkwo, and his London solicitor, Bhadresh Gohil, have all been convicted of money-laundering.

The Judge Mercel Awokulehin MUST BE tracked down, found and SHOT by the government of Nigeria, Militants or Armed Robbers.

Arsehole!

In a sane society, the media will use this to humiliate the Silverback Gorilla we call President about Dariye and likes that have been walking free in Nigeria.

Look at his ugly face. God don catch am, if na to say EFCC custody he dey, he will laughing in flowing white Agbada by now. I pray the Judge give at least 25 years. Bastard!

bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17184075
Former convict turn gov. In nigeria n goes back to being a convict again shuu. Guiness book of world records entry.

This man must have offended the gods in some way. His case is so different and I have no idea why. I thought Joshua Dariye was also wanted by the UK authorities, is his case dead? I saw him lounging in his magnificent hotel in the Utako district of Abuja late last year, enjoying life with no worries in the world - somehow he has dropped off the radar and is even now a Senator to boot. Abi is it Lucky Igbinedion, Peter Odili, Bola Tinubu and a thousand others that we want to talk about? Ibori's case is highly mysterious; there's a lot one needs to know about what exactly befell this man. The vigour and incredible amount of tax payers' money that the British government wasted in pursuing this case (that is of no direct interest or benefit to them) is intriguing to say the least. Husband, wife, sister, and mistress, all incarcerated. This has got to be a deep spiritual problem.

More Africa stories
James Ibori, a former governor of one
of Nigeria's oil-producing states, has
pleaded guilty in a UK court to 10
counts of money-laundering and
conspiracy to defraud.
British police accuse him of stealing
$250m (£160m) over eight years.
The prosecutor called him a "thief in
government house".
Ibori, once seen as one of Nigeria's
wealthiest and most influential
politicians, was arrested in 2010 in Dubai and then extradited
to London.
Some $35m of his alleged UK assets were frozen in 2007.
As his trial at London's Southwark Crown Court was about to
begin, Mr Ibori changed his plea to guilty and admitted stealing
money from Delta state and laundering it in London through a
number of offshore companies.
The BBC's Chris Summers says between 20 and 30 of Mr Ibori's
supporters turned up to court - some wearing T-shirts with the
slogan "Free Ibori". There was not enough room for them all in
the public gallery.
Prosecuting QC Sasha Wass said Mr Ibori, 53, had "tricked" his
way into becoming Delta state governor, by giving a false date
of birth and claiming he had no criminal record.
"He was never the legitimate governor and there was
effectively a thief in government house. As the pretender of
that public office, he was able to plunder Delta state's wealth
and hand out patronage."
He is due to be sentenced on 16 April.
'Lavish lifestyle'
Ibori's wife, Theresa, his sister, Christine, his mistress,
Udoamaaka Okoronkwo, and his London solicitor, Bhadresh
Gohil, have all been convicted of money-laundering.
Their convictions could only be reported on Monday after
reporting restrictions were lifted.
Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) had asked the UK's
Metropolitan Police to look into the ex-
governor's financial affairs.
"The vast sums of money involved were
used to fund Mr Ibori's lavish lifestyle,"
Detective Inspector Paul Whatmore, the
officer in charge of the investigation,
said.
"We will now be actively seeking the
confiscation of all of his stolen assets so
they can be repatriated for the benefit of
the people of Delta State."
He said that the money Ibori stole should
have been used to pay for sanitation,
power supplies and healthcare for some
of the poorest people in the world.
Ibori spent some of the stolen money
buying six houses in London - he paid
£2.2m in cash for one Hampstead mansion
- and put his children in expensive British
private schools, police say.
DIY theft
Three of the money-laundering charges
relate to the sale of Delta state's share in
mobile phone company V-Mobile to
neighbouring Akwa Ibom state.
This raised $37m which Ibori stole and
laundered through his solicitor Gohil,
who has been jailed for 10 years.
In 2007, a UK court froze assets allegedly
belonging to him worth $35m.
His annual salary as Delta state governor
was less than $25,000.
He had already left the UK when his
assets were seized but he was arrested in
Nigeria later that year.
The charges were dismissed but he was
then re-arrested in Dubai on a British warrant.
Ibori has been convicted in the UK before - in 1991 for stealing,
in cahoots with his wife who worked as a cashier, from the
Neasden, London, branch of the DIY shop Wickes.
He was also found guilty in 1992 for being in possession of a
stolen credit card and having used it to fraudulently withdraw
$1,590.
Nigeria is one of the world's biggest oil producers. Under its
federal system, state governors enjoy huge powers and control
budgets larger than those of many West African countries.
They have immunity from prosecution while in office.
Two other former state governors have been convicted of
corruption charges in Nigeria, after fleeing the UK while free
on bail.
