LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s antigraft body says a powerful politician has been extradited to London on allegations of funneling stolen state funds to British banks.
A spokesman for Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said Friday that James Ibori, former governor of Nigeria’s oil-rich Delta state, was taken from Dubai Thursday.
Femi Babafemi said it was “a warning signal to others” after Ibori escaped arrest in Nigeria by fleeing to Dubai.
