On his arrival, Ibori met with Director-General of the DSS, Mr. Lawal Daura, who disclosed to journalists that: “He(Ibori) met me for a short debriefing session and the way forward.
“Also, to welcome him back to his fatherland. We are also meeting soon to discuss issues of interest affecting the nation.”Meanwhile The PUNCH reports that Ibori still has 170 charges against him pending before a Federal High Court. The newspaper reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) may soon arraign him on charges bordering on corruption.
A source within the commission told The PUNCH that, “Ibori still has 170 charges pending against him. Also, the Appeal Court has given us the go-ahead to prosecute him and this ruling has not been upturned by the Supreme Court. As things stand, the EFCC has the right to arrest him at anytime. Ibori, among other allegations, was accused of embezzling N40billion which belonged to the state. Also, a former Chairman of the EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, alleged that the former governor attempted to bribe him with $15million cash.”
