James Ibori, former governor of Delta State, has disclosed that his corruption trial has taught him incredible lessons that he could not have learnt in any institution of learning.
He said this in the October
edition of EFCCAlert, a monthly newsletter of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
In 2012, Ibori was sentenced by a
United Kingdom Southwark Crown Court to 13 years in prison after he was found
guilty of counts of money laundering and related offences of fraud to the tune
of £50 million.
“Owing to this, I have since lost
faith in the British judicial system, having been through it and observed
first-hand the politics, desperation and wicked machinations inherent in the
process that rigged the trial against me and against all judicial wholesome
processes, which differentiate the modern era from the dark ages.
“I will continue to protest the
political nature of my predicament.
“In all of this, I will say that
what I have been through since the persecution against me began has taught me
incredible lessons; lessons I could not have learnt in any institution of
higher learning,” he said.
