The former Delta governor is serving jail-term for fraud.

Hearing in the case of confiscation of 90 million pounds (N22.5 billion) worth of asset belonging to ex-governor IboriJames Ibori ended inconclusively on Monday in a British court.

The case will now start afresh next year.

James Ibori, governor of the oil-producing state of Delta in southern Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, is serving a 13-year jail sentence in a British jail.

This was after he pleaded guilty in February 2012 to 10 counts of fraud and money-laundering.

Once an influential power-broker at the heart of Nigeria’s ruling PDP, he is by far the most senior politician to be held accountable for corruption; although he is yet to be convicted for corruption in Nigeria, where a high court judge had once freed him of corruption charges.

The confiscation proceedings against him will determine whether he emerges from jail impoverished or still in possession of a large enough fortune to regain a position of influence in Nigeria.

Nigerians are suffering and dying of poverty and he stole so much....

A greedy heartless animal.....
