James Ibori released from UK prison


Former governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori has been released from prison. He was released a few minutes past noon upon a court order.

His media aide, Mr. Tony Elumenor confirmed his release on Wednesday.

Ibori was jailed for money laundering offences by Southwark Crown court in 2012.

He was sent to prison for 13 years.

Expectation of his return home to Nigeria, however, remains uncertain as friends and associates many of who are gathered in London deliberate on the future of the former governor.
