£4.2m: No money returned to Delta, Accountant General recants

The office of the Accountant General of the Federation has withdrawn its earlier statement that it had returned to Delta State the 4.2million pounds money returned from the United Kingdom. A statement by the AG office putting the record straight reads: OFFICE OF THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION Press Release Wednesday, May 26, 2021 RE: £4.2m IBORI LOOT: PUTTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) wishes to put the records straight regarding the widely circulated media report on the £4.2m Ibori Loot. The issue of the £4.2m Ibori Loot has not been properly resolved. The money is still being awaited, after which the issues around it will be resolved before further action is taken. For now, no money has been returned to Delta State. This explanation is without prejudice to the proceedings at the public hearing that took place yesterday during which the AGF was only making general comments about recoveries relating to State Governments. This is the true position as regards the £4.2m Ibori Loot. Henshaw Ogubike mnipr Director (Information, Press and Public Relations)
