Ibori Loot: OAGF Recants, Says Money Not Yet Returned To Delta
- The AGF had, on Tuesday, claimed that the money had been returned to the Delta State Government
The Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, has said that the 4.2 million pounds Ibori loot has not been returned to Delta State yet, contrary to his earlier claim.
Eko Hot Blog had reported on Tuesday how Idris told federal lawmakers in Abuja that the money, returned to the Nigerian government by the UK government, had been returned to Delta State from where it was stolen by James Ibori, a former Delta governor.

However, the Delta State Government said on Wednesday that it has yet to receive the money.
In a late Wednesday statement, the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) clarified its position, saying, “The issue of the £4.2m Ibori Loot has not been properly resolved.”
The OAGF’s director of Information, Press and Public Relations, Henshaw Ogubike, in the statement, said the money “is still being awaited, after which the issues around it will be resolved before further action is taken.”
“For now, no money has been returned to Delta State,” he said.
