Return £7.3m Or Face 10 Years In Jail, Court Tells Ex-banker, Who Helped Ibori by Flashvite: 6:28pm On Sep 04, 2019
A former Goldman Sachs banker, Ellias Preko, who helped the former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, to hide funds in offshore accounts has been ordered to pay back £7.3m or face 10 years more in jail.

Preko, a 60-year-old Ghanaian had been convicted and jailed for four and a half years back in 2013 for his role in the fraud.

Judge David Tomlison ordered Preko to pay back £7,324.268.41 following a confiscation hearing.

Preko has three months to repay the money or he could face another 10 years in jail, reports Daily Mail.

Preko, who represented himself, told the court in a previous hearing much of the cash had been spent on election campaigning back in his native Ghana.

He said he had run as a candidate for the centre-right NPP party back in the mid-2000s.


Preko explained that Ghana is predominantly a cash-based society and that few receipts exist for his campaign spending.

Ibori was jailed for 13 years in 2012 after he admitted to stealing state funds during his two terms in office as a governor.

The court heard how he pocketed up to £160 million from government treasuries.

The proceeds from crime never settles in a belly. If you want to cheat, make sure you cheat death, not people. If you must lie, then lie down to sleep, but don’t lie to people. If you need to beg, then beg God for forgiveness, don’t beg people for money. And if you are must boast, boast only of God’s love for you.

Dont be in too a hurry to make a bad wealth. Practice the art of regularly thinking alone. Ideas are shy. They won’t come to you if you're always surrounded by people. Leave your phone. Take a notepad. Go to your closet, pray, then meditate and 'ideate'. As you 'ideate', God will fill your mind with wealth bringing ideas.

I wonder how much of it is really left. All Nigeria needs is to.import these sought of judges and the jails will be brimming with fat crooks.

Whether it will substantially reduce corruption0It will be hard as they'll have to.jail almost everyone. Theyll be extremely overworked and a huge stash of unfinished cases.

The society is simply too corrupt
