The House of Representatives on Wednesday begged the Federal Government of Nigeria to make sure that the £4.2million Ibori loot be returned to Delta State.
The lawmakers argued that the funds were stolen from Delta State and as such should rightly be returned to the state. They added that the funds are needed for the infrastructural development of the state.
This was the resolution reached after a motion of urgent public importance which was sponsored by all the lawmakers from Delta State. However, the federal legislators also pointed out that the total money is £6.2 million and not £4.2 million as is being reported.
The House also asked the Federal Ministry of Finance to direct the Attorney General of Federation, Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and give the House all particulars relating to the recovered money.
James Onanefe Ibori was Governor of Delta State in Nigeria from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007.
He was convicted in the United Kingdom of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud and was sentenced by a British court on April 18, 2012, to 13 years in prison.
