6 luxury assets that were seized from ex-governor [PHOTOS]

Ibori was accused of laundering more than $200 million from Nigeria’s coffers.

Ex-Delta state governor James Ibori

Ibori was released today, December 21, 2016, after being jailed on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 by the Southwark Crown Court.

He was arrested in Dubai on May 13, 2010, and extradited to the UK in April 2011 after being declared wanted by the UK Metropolitan Police.

Below are six expensive assets which were seized from the former governor:

6. A Mercedes Benz Maybach, bought for €407,000 cash, that was shipped direct to his mansion in South Africa.

However, despite being freed from prison, Ibori might not be able to return to Nigeria yet.

This is due to a pending case concerning the confiscation of his assets worth tens of millions of dollars.
