Six years after Justice Marcel Awokulehin struck out all 170-count charge of money laundering preferred against former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), a three-man panel of Justices at the Benin Division of the Court of Appeal Thursday ruled that the ex- governor who is currently serving a 13-year jail term in a London prison, has a case to answer.
The unanimous decision of court setting aside the ruling of Justice Awokulehin was delivered by Justice Ibrahim Saulawa and was supported by Justices P. M Ekpe and H. A Barka respectively.
