Former Delta State Governor, James Ibori bags 13 years jail term in UK


James Ibori was a petty criminal who once worked for the DIY store Wickes, but he re-invented himself as one of the richest - and most corrupt - of Nigeria's regional governors.

He was jailed for 13 years after pleading guilty to fraud charges totalling around £50m. He used aid money - much of which came from the UK - to fund a jetset lifestyle.
