Former governor of Delta State,James Ibori, who was jailed 13 years in Britain for laundering tens of millions of dollars in stolen public funds, through British banks and properties, lost an appeal against his conviction in London on Wednesday. He however spent seven years as it is obtained in the UK and has been in Nigeria since two years ago.
He had pleaded guilty in a London court in 2012 to a 10-count charge of fraud and money-laundering, involving sums amounting to at least 50 million pounds ($66 million).
The former governor appealed against his conviction, alleging misconduct by British Police and prosecutors, which he argued, tainted the judicial process.
