Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James OnanefeIbori, who regained his freedom, Wednesday, after serving six and half year jail term in London, United Kingdom, on money laundering charges, has decided to keep a low profile in London, despite the loud preparations for his return back home.
Ibori has remained in London since
his release, but had been communicating with politicians and friends in Nigeria
in the past few days, while some flew to London to rejoice with him.
Also, some leaders of his political
family in the state have cut back on the celebrations over his discharge in
view of public outrage, while his kinsmen pleaded, yesterday, with the Federal
Government and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, not to
exhume fresh case against him.
Their call was against the backdrop
of unconfirmed report that the federal government was interested in extraditing
the former governor and filing fresh charges against him.
Meanwhile, the road leading to the
ex-governor’s OtefeOghara ancestral village is currently receiving surface
lift, while people have been engaged in other maintenance works in the village
awaiting the revered son.
