Embattled former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, who is facing a 10-count charge of stealing, money laundering and corruption at a London court, yesterday, indirectly denied pleading guilty to corruption charges.
Ibori, in a statement signed by his media assistant, Mr Tony Eluemunor, also explained why he pleaded guilty to money laundering charges, saying: “Ibori did not want a long‑drawn trial where Nigeria’s name would be bandied about in a foreign court.”
According to Eluemunor, “the world was made to believe that Ibori’s guilty plea was a sudden turn around and not a well‑deliberated act that was part of a plea bargain deal. But it is on record that several Nigerian newspapers of last Sunday published different versions of that self same story; that Ibori would plead guilty as part of a plea bargain arrangement.
“Of course, that plea bargain deal would only kick in with Ibori’s pleading guilty, which he did on Monday. After that plea, which had been successfully foretold by Nigerian newspapers, both the prosecution and the defence counsel were to return on April 16 and 17 to make their needed statements.
There was no plea bargain. The guy pleaded guilty to stealing cos he is a thief.

ReplyDeleteCan someone tell this thief that by virtue of his arraignment (before the whole world), he becomes not just a mere thief but an 'International Thief'! Anyone with that name 'Ibori' becomes stigmatized. Thus, he is an embarrassment to his State, local government, his village, his clan and indeed his family.
Dear Ibori,
As you have become an important thief, it necessary you realise that your generations will carry this sigma, as 'descendants of an international thief'. Families will be cautioned/warned to marry your children. Those transacting any business with your fraudulent organization will be doing so at their own risk.
Man, you are a disgrace and an embarrassment to mankind!

ReplyDeleteIbori, you are an idiot. You didnt remember Nigeria's good name when you were squandering its money and wasting its resources? Almighty God will require from your hand evything you have stolen from Nigeria. You laid the bed, now lie on it.
ReplyDeleteRemember, if you truly turn to God, He can save you through the only way (Jesus Christ). But then again, your heart may get hardened like Pharaoh.
A word is enough for the wise. I know you are not wise but try!!
Ajibole, Thief, Jaguda, Tiftif Jakoriko na James Onanefe Ibori be. With that your prison number on your chest, you can never deny being an ex convict as you did in Nigeria. Once a thief, always a thief. But in the case of James Onanefe Ibori, you remain an INTERNATIONAL THIEF. ''I go see how you go take deny say no bi you dem convict for London again.''with this publicity. As for Eluemunor, we know him as a beneficiary of stolen wealth. You no get shame at all.
