CORRUPTION EX-CONVICT, IBORI CONFERRED WITH CHIEFTAINCY TITLE

A former Delta Governor, Mr . James Ibori , has been conferred with a chieftaincy title, the “Ezi - Oyi Anioma” .

Ibori ’ s naming as Ezi - Oyi Anioma, meaning a good friend of Anioma nation,
comes five days after the former governor gave out his daughter, Erhiatake , in marriage to Mr Abioye Suenu .

Ibori recently returned to the country after spending time in UK prisons for fraud. It is believed he is gradually integrating himself back into Nigerian politics .

Since his return , Ibori had visited the family of former Bayelsa State governor, Late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha ; the Ovie of Oghara Kingdom , Delta State , HRM Noble Eshemitan , Uku- Ogharaname Orife III ; and had also received visits from governors Seriake Dickson and Ifeanyi Okowa .

Ibori , a former cashier at a British chain of DIY stores , was jailed in April 2012 for fraud amounting to nearly 50 million pounds ( at the time $ 78 . 5 million , 62 million euros ) .

The trial judge and police , however , believed he misappropriated much more.
His conviction in Britain followed a drawn - out extradition procedure from Dubai , where he fled to in 2010 , evading arrest and prosecution in Nigeria .

Ibori was released in December after serving just over four years of his sentence and launched an appeal against his conviction, angering anti -corruption campaigners .

Being a convicted criminal would spell the end of a politician’ s career in many places around the world .

It is well with Nigeria.
