Taxpayers are facing a “huge” new bill after efforts to force a former Nigerian state governor from London to repay profits from a £50 million fraud were delayed for more than a year.

James Ibori, who began his working life as a £5,000-a-year cashier at a Wickes DIY branch in Ruislip, became a multi-millionaire after returning to his homeland and committing a series of scams during an eight-year career running its oil rich Delta State.

His wealth allowed him to buy expensive homes, a £12 million jet and a £1 million fleet of cars including a Bentley, Mercedes and armoured Range Rovers. His crimes were detected in a Scotland Yard investigation that led to him being jailed in April 2012 for 13 years for fraud and money laundering.

Although U hardly see dat!

Ibori?

Smh for the guy, a disgrace to his people

The British government should not expect to recover all stolen funds.

This criminal is so smart that it will take any government donkey years to recover 10% of their stolen wealth.

This is why i suggest corruption deserve capital punishment.

For us to be sure they will never enjoy a penny out of those stolen fund meant for the masses.

Jonathan's second boss

And some Nigerians think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread....

Ah well....let us Nigerians....all continue to praise the looters among us...and call those who call them looterocrats to account liars and bigots. Because in this country....we hate the truth. Truth is not our best friend.

I daresay when James comes marching home...he will get a GLORIOUS reception. And we will make comments about how James is a hero of the African struggle against colonialism, and how we need more people like him. Then off to the Church and the Shrine for the thanks giving....and in a few years....he becomes a Senator....and then eventually retires as a pillar of the society.

Meanwhile....we will be wondering why we still do not have light.

Please let him serve the rest of his jail term in Nigeria, we all know that the UK is only acting a script by his jailers who wanted him out. Waas he the only PDP Gov who stole in the OBJ Administration? C'mon now

Though highly corrupted(very bad)but his indictment was politically motivated for so many worse than him abound among Nigerian political class(both past and present)which majority of us celebrate today. May God Almighty use the processes he has been undergoing to bring positive change in him as well making him a lesson to others. God,please,may your righteousness cover Nigeria as water covers the sea.

I nor understand oh! Wet in concern Us tax payers for the matter?

Oloriibu niwor yi

After u finish serving ur jail term in UK. Come back and serve another jail term afresh

Politics of hate led Ibori to this

Ibori again? Truely he is a disgrace to the nigerian government.

Rot in jail. I have no pity for you. If I were the judge I would have sentenced you to 50Years behind bars. I am angry because, You can still come out in 13years time to enjoy your wealth. I wouldn't have given you that opportunity. Bloody criminal.

Not only UK citizens taxpayers facing huge bill, they are still meant to pay more and more whenever our magical Buhari start unraveling the huger stolen money kept not only in UK but other western European countries.


Ingrates milking us down from time immemorial praying that we remain remote and destabilize as they envisioned. Na lie we are already on the track of knowledge and rationality.

That's why GEJ is my hero and will remain so untill i see another person of same position who outperform him in trying to put Nigerians first b4 any fvcking ambition.
