Former Delta state governor Chief James Ibori has pleaded guilty to 10 counts of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud in his UK trial. The governor who initially denied all the charges was first arrested by Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in 2007. He then fled to Dubai but was yet again rearrested by the EFCC but a British warrant led to him being detained in the Middle East nation. All his attempt to fight extradition failed and he was sent to UK to face trials.
The British police accused him of stealing £250million over 8years.
Chief Ibori's sentencing has been adjourned to April 16 & 17 while confiscation hearing will be in August.
