Delta State Government Still Willing To Reclaim $15m Ibori "Bribe Money"

Asaba, Delta State - The state government will continue its bid to reclaim $15 million, the sum allegedly used by the former Delta state Governor James Ibori to bribe a member of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission back in 2007.

State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Charles Ajuyah (SAN), spoke to jornalists yesterday, while taking his turn to present the mid-term report of his ministry. Mr. Ajuyah said the State government would not be held aback by last week’s judgment by a Federal High Court in Abuja, which refused to grant ownership of the money to the state government.

The Judge said the State government is studying the judgement, and will act in accordance with it, looking at the "variables" at the same time.
