Ibori’s conviction, lesson to Nigerian judiciary – Babalola, Akanbi, others
Two legal luminaries, Chief Afe Babalola and Rotimi Akeredolu have described the conviction and sentencing of former Governor James Ibori of Delta State to 13 years in prison by the Southwark Crown Court in London on Tuesday as a great lesson as well as food for thought to Nigerians in positions of authority.
The lawyers, who noted that there were many ‘Iboris’ in and out of government, said the conviction of the ex-governor should teach those entrusted with state funds to refrain from diverting it to private pockets.
