Again, Delta Asks FG to Return £4.2m Recovered Loot

Alex Enumah in Abuja and Omon-Julius Onabu in Asaba
The Delta State government yesterday restated its plea to the federal government to return to the state the £4.2 million first tranche recovered from the associates of a former governor of the state, Chief James Ibori.
The state was reacting to a confirmation yesterday by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), that the federal government was in receipt of the £4,214,017.66 from the United Kingdom (UK).
The recovered loot came after about two months the federal government and its UK counterpart announced that modalities have been perfected for the return of the funds to Nigeria.
