UK Govt to return £4.2m Ibori Loot
The United Kingdom is set to return looted assets worth £4.2 million linked to former Delta State Governor, James Ibori.
Catriona Laing, British high commissioner to Nigeria, signed a memorandum to that effect with Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation, in Abuja on Tuesday.
Laing expressed that the money was recovered from friends and family members of the former governor.
She lamented that many Nigerians were in the habit of siphoning money from the country to the UK, saying that has also affected the level of trust between the two countries.
Laing, however, warned that the UK will no longer be used as a destination for looters to siphon proceeds of crimes.
According to the agreement signed, the £4.2million is to be returned two weeks from now.
that is very good of you…..
Hmmm, look at the kind of money, this man stole from this country. It’s well
I hope they will use the money judiciously if return back to the government
Corruption has eaten deep into this country, the money that meant for the development of the country
I hope if this money is returned it won’t be looted again
At least the money will be used for another project
