Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James OnanefeIbori still in celebration mood over release



   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.
