An Abuja Chief Magistrate Court sitting at Wuse, yesterday ordered that the Inspector-General of Police arrest  Senator Andy Uba and one Chibuike Achigbu in relation to the $15 million bribe allegedly offered to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, by cronies of the convicted former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori, in 2007. The businessman, Chibuike Achigbu  laid claim to the bribe money saying that the money belonged to him and that he gave it willing and legally to support the activities of political party, PDP. According to him, he did all of this with the go ahead of senator Andy Ubah who was a special adviser to the presidency at the time. Chibuike Achigbu made this claim on the 29th of August when he identified himself as an oil magnate.

However Keyamo was not satisfied by the explanations and sought an order for the duo to be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted for either acting as accessories to an act of bribery or for deposing to false affidavit, which he said amounts to perjury.He also suggested that the federal government ,”Arrest Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, interrogate him and charge him to court, if necessary, for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and perjury as regards the proceedings in Asaba, when he swore on oath or procured another to swear that he was given a bribe.”
