The federal government has said that funds looted by former
Delta Governor, James Ibori will be repatriated to Nigeria soon.
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Abubakar Malami gave the assurance on Monday. Nigeria is expecting £4.2billion.
Umar Gwandu, his spokesman, in a statement, noted that
sometimes when a country transfers funds, it takes more than expected due to
some documentation.
Malami said his office and other relevant government
agencies will keep the public informed once the Ibori loot are received.
The Minister added that the Nigerian government is in touch
with the United Kingdom on the matter.
“Documentations with the banks in different countries often
take longer than anticipated. We anticipated two weeks but we are not in
control of the banks.
“There is neither complacency nor any delay as efforts are
being made to ensure successful transfer of the looted funds,” the statement
read.
