“Ibori’s loot will be returned to the FG not Delta State” – Malami gives reasons

Attorney-general of the federation, Abubakar Malami has stated that the loot recovered from Former Delta State Governor, James Ibori will not return back to the state but the. Federal Government.

Speaking during his Tuesday appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Malami stated that the law which Ibori breached is a federal law, and not that of Delta state.

He said;

“The major consideration relating to who is entitled to a fraction or perhaps the money in its entirety is a function of law and international diplomacy.

“It is a function of law, in the sense that the law in contention that was alleged to have been breached is a federal law. That is the starting point.

“In dealing with the international community and international diplomacy, the parties of interest are the state parties (referring to sovereign countries), and not sub-national governments that are involved.”
