It would be recalled that Ibori was sentenced at the Southwark Crown Court, London, to 13 years imprisonment after being convicted on a 10-count charge of money laundering and fraud.
The former governor pleaded guilty in February 2012 in expectation of a light sentence. Instead Judge Anthony Pitts slammed 13 years jail term on him and confiscated his properties worth billions of dollars.
Quite unfortunate that the former governor has had a bad record for long. In 1991, he was convicted of stealing from a hardware store where he was working in London. His girlfriend back then, who later became his wife was also found guilty.
