Ibori accuses British prosecutors of witholding information of alleged corruption charges from him

UK: Former governor of Delta state, James Ibori through his lawyers, at the resumed hearing of the case against him at the Crown Court Southwark Uk on Monday, accused Britain's prosecuting authorities for holding back information concerning the alleged corruption from him by a British police officer
who is involved in his investigation and for also making deceptive statements in court.
The former governor of Delta State from 1999 to 2007, is currently serving a 13 year jail sentence in a British prison after pleading guilty in 2012 to 10 counts of fraud and money laundering.
Ibori's defence team applied for the presiding judge, Judge Tomlinson, to permanently stop court proceedings on the confiscation of Ibori’s assets, which has dragged on for many years.
The judge in his ruling, said taking such a decision would amount to a challenge on Ibori’s convictions, a matter that should probably be dealt with by the Court of Appeal, a higher court. He adjourned the case to tomorrow, Wednesday June 8th.
