James Ibori’s Kinsmen Release Statement on His Alleged Release From UK Prison


The Secretary-General of the Oghara Clan Union in the UK, Charles Abutoh has refuted media reports claiming that former Delta State governor, James Ibori has been released from prison.

While describing those peddling the rumours as being mischievous, Abutoh noted that there is no logic in releasing before the completion of his assets confiscation trial which is slated for June this year.

He said, ”If you imprison someone for stealing, you can’t let them go without telling you what you say they stole. That is the essence of the confiscation trial. Once the trial is concluded and he is able to settle it, he will be released.

“They know Ibori sells papers, so some people just sit down and write whatever they like”, he said, and explained that the former governor is due to be released this year but not before the completion of the confiscation case.

“I visited him in prison about three weeks ago and speak with him every other day”, he said, adding that “things are still as they are, and everything is on course.”
