Recovered £4.2m Ibori Loot Returned To Delta – Accountant General
Mr Ahmed Idris, the Accountant General of the Federation, has stated that the £4.2m looted by a former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori, which the Federal Government recently repatriated from the United Kingdom, has been returned to the state.
Idris revealed this in Abuja on Tuesday during his appearance before the House of Representatives’ Ad hoc Committee on Assessment and Status of All Recovered Loots Movable and Immovable Assets from 2002 to 2020 by Agencies of the Federal Government of Nigeria for Effective Efficient Management and Utilization.
The Accountant-General, who was queried by the committee for over one hour, mentioned that such funds looted from the treasury of a state are always returned to the state. He added that states can sue the Federal Government to recover such funds.
