Buhari Returns £4.2m Ibori Loot To Delta Government

Federal Government has returned the £4.2 million Ibori loot repatriated from the United Kingdom to the Delta state government.

Nigeria’s Accountant-General, Ahmed Idris, made this known on Tuesday while addressing the Abuja House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee on Assessment and Status of All Recovered Loots Movable and Immovable Assets from 2002 to 2020 by Agencies of the Federal Government of Nigeria for Effective Efficient Management and Utilisation.

Idris said the decision was in line with the laid down procedure as funds looted from a state are usually returned to the state.

The AGF noted that states could take the federal government to court if such funds are not returned.
