There’s no Nigerian loot with me – Ibori

Former Delta State governor, Chief James Ibori has said there are no stolen Nigerian‎ funds with him waiting for collection by the Federal Government.

Ibori, who is serving a prison term in London, said contrary to the statement accredited to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami that the Federal Government would recover the sum of £6.9 million from him, the former governor said such money does not exist anywhere.

In a statement on Thursday by his media officer, Tony Eluemunor, Ibori stated: “There is no Ibori loot anywhere in the world. Such money, whether in British pounds, American dollars or the Nigerian naira just does not exist. This is because the Ibori London trial is not yet over.”

The statement added that it is an incontrovertible fact that the confiscation hearing against Ibori has not started, and remains months away into the future.

“This makes it disappointing that a high official of state such as the Attorney-General may have been misled into believing that an Ibori loot not only exists anywhere, but he even put a figure (6.9 million pounds) to it,” the statement noted.
