He said “Our anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria are not effective, apparently because there is too much political interference.”
Adding that “In the case of (ex-Delta State Governor James) Ibori for instance, they found him not guilty in Nigeria but he was arrested, prosecuted and convicted in the UK.”
