There are reports that an additional
£80 million has been temporarily seized and a confiscation hearing has been
fixed for April 2015 before the judge decides exactly how much was stolen out
of the £80 million and then return it to Nigeria
Ibori who is still serving a jail
term, was sentenced by the British Southcrown Court in April 2012 for 13 years
after being convicted for fraud and money laundering.
