Ibori: Judge Orders Immediate Release from UK Prison
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on PinterestShare on WhatsappShare on Telegram

Judge Juliet May (QC), of the Royal Court of Justice on Wednesday ordered the immediate release of a former governor of Delta State, James Onanefe Ibori, from the UK prison.

The Judge who delivered the ruling, opposed the unlawful detention of the ex-governor, as the Home Office earlier took a decision not to release him after serving half of his sentence and taking into account pre-trial detention.

Ibori was jailed for money laundering offences by the Southwark Crown Court in London in 2012 and served his jail term at Huntercoombe Prison in Oxfordshire.

In a chat with a national Daily Ibori’s counsel, Mr Jonathan Chike Epele, who confirmed tje reorts said: “Today we won a victory at the Royal Court of Justice, London when we challenged the decision of the Home Office not to release Ibori who was due for release on the 20th of December, 2016.

“After serving his sentence, we were informed by the Home Office that he will not be released on the ground that his confiscation proceeding has not been concluded.”

He said he explained to the judge that there was no ground in law under which Ibori could be detained and the refusal of the Home Office for his refusal was unlawful.

Epele stated that the Home Office’s position was totally unreasonable and was not in consonance with any known prison, immigration or confiscation law provision.

However, he said that the judge was able to see the true position and acted with complete fairness and expediency during the emergency hearing on Wednesday.james-ibori
