Eniola Akinkuotu, AbujaHuman rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has alleged that the Nigerian Government earlier frustrated the trial of former Governor, James Ibori, in the United Kingdom. He said, “It is on record that the Federal Government openly opposed the trial of Chief Ibori in the United Kingdom. ), has consistently said former Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, never stole and yet Buhari uses Abacha’s recovered loot to implement projects. Falana said, “No doubt, the former Delta State Government was irresponsible to have denied that Chief Ibori looted the treasury of the state at the material time. But the Delta State Government never said that the over £100m confiscated from Chief Ibori in the London trial did not belong to the people of Delta State.”
