Delta State Leaders Vow To Monitor The Use Of James Ibori’s Loot

The Delta State Leaders, Elders and Stakeholders Forum (DSLESF) headed by the Ijaw National Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has vowed to monitor the use of the money recovered from the convicted former Governor Chief James Ibori by the present administration. Contrary to the position expressed by some people, DSLESF said it was not opposed to the release of the funds seized from Ibori by the British Government to the administration of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. Rather, the group vowed to monitor the use of the funds.

Ibori was on Tuesday jailed for 13 years by the Southwark Crown Court in London for corruption and money laundering while in office.

The court also ordered that money and other property recovered from Ibori be transferred to the Delta State government.
