JAMES IBORI, TWO FACES OF A THIEVING-GOVERNOR

It is indeed the stuff a real and serious fight against corruption is made of - the denuding of a thief hiding under the cloak of a statesman by a country whose judiciary is not corrupt or should Icheoku say not too corrupt to be easily compromised? 


A former grocery store clerk/cashier turned governor/high chief and now a convicted common criminal and soon to be committed to prison for ten long years? What a changing fortunes of man or should Icheoku say once a rogue always a rogue and what is horrible with Nigeria where people with questionable character and not vetted are foist on society to mind the coffers and you ask yourself how can a bank-robber be handed the combination locks numbers of a bank safe? Only in Nigeria, the land of anything and everything goes.

C(t)hief James Onanefe Ibori now stands convicted as a common criminal, financial fraudster and thief who dipped his gluey hands in the pie of his Delta State and helped himself handsomely to the tune of several hundreds millions of dollars with States resources. 


A former high chief and former governor now posing for mugshot as a common criminal? What a shame and a very huge stain on Nigeria's already over soiled and badly tarnished image and notoriety as a cesspool of corruption. Icheoku hopes he will serve his ten year sentence in full in addition to full restitution and not disguise himself as an old lady in the manner of DSP Alamesigha and flee London. EFCC, do you now see how it is done?
