Ibori was released on January 22, 2016, after completing his jail term at Her Majesty’s Prison in Bedford, United Kingdom.
According to PM News, the ex-governor was re-arrested over fresh charges bordering on the confiscation of his assets, which were estimated at about 250million pounds. It was reported that hearing would commence on the case in June.
