The wife of the former Governor
of Delta State, Theresa Ibori, has
been sentenced to jail for five
years by a London jury after she
was found guilty on a two
count-charge of money
laundering.
Found guilty with Mr Ibori’s
attorney, Bhadresh Gohil, who
was on trial with Theresa. Mr
Gohil was found guilty on a
similar charge and was
remanded in police custody.
He will be sentenced after the
conclusion of another trial
involving the laundering of
proceeds of V-Mobile shares by
James Ibori, Henry Imashekka,
David Edevbie and former Akwa
Ibom governor, Victor Attah. The
trial will commence next Monday.
The recent anti-corruption
campaign on the Ibori ’s has also
seen the conviction of the
former governor ’s sister
Christine Ibori-Ibie; and mistress,
Udoamaka Okoronkwo-Onuigbo
in a previous trial for helping
him move an estimated £70
million worth of looted funds
through several London banks.
The two women are currently
serving five-year jail terms each
in a London prison.
