You earlier dragged EFCC to court saying Ibori didn’t steal Delta State money, recovered loot is for FG, Court rules

“An Abuja High court has ruled in favour of federal government to spend Ibori loot thereby throwing Delta state government’s case out.

“Declining to grant ownership of the money to Delta state yesterday, the court, said the state did not by preponderance of evidence and balance of probability, show that the money was removed from it’s tilt, “not necessarily by Chief James Ibori, but during his administration.”

The court further noted that the state had during the trial of the former governor, sued the EFCC, contending that it never complained that its money was missing, adding that the state should by concrete evidence, in view of Ibori’s denial of the money, show that the $15m belonged to it.”
