Fugitive Ibori escapes from Nigeria

James Ibori 

Fugitive abd ex Delta State Governor, James Ibori has escaped from his hideout in the creeks, and out of Nigeria, Pointblanknews.com has learnt.

Ibori who was holed up amongst AK-47 totting militants in the delta swamp, bolted out of Nigeria, days ago,  top intelligence sources disclosed to pointblanknews.com Monday.

It was learnt that Ibori fled by boat with the assistance of some militants and political allies.

On wether the interpol would be  used to fish out Ibori, our source said " issue is,  before you involve the interpol, you must indentify his location, presently his location is not known, but the only thing we can confirm is he has left the shores of Nigeria"

However, our source maintained that since it would be difficult for Ibori to flee to the UK or the US, he is believed to be hiding in one of the neighboring nations, from where he could most likely flee to south America, a safe haven for fugitives.

Ibori, who was declared wanted by the EFCC for sundry allegations involving embezzlement, had been involved in a cat and mouse game with the agency.

Shortly after he was declared wanted over a petition brought by elders and opinion leaders of his state, Ibori went into hiding. From his hideout, he went to court to stop what his cronies tagged witch hunt by the EFCC. When he realised that the anti-graft agency meant business, he fled to his village Oghara, from where he was spirited into the creeks.

Few days later, operatives of the agency and a team of policemen stormed oghara, but they were resisted by a rented crowd, which threatened violence.

A source at the EFCC also confirmed the escape of Ibori. The source said all what has been emanating from the Ibori's camp had been diversionary. According to our source" all the noise about him being around , and has nothing to fear , or run away from, have been diversionary tactics by his men.

@E -Nice,
no mind them. can't u see the kind of news they read and believe. the security source that saw all these was not able to find him while he was in nigeria.
the good news is that ibori is equal to their games and he is up to whatever they come with.
is fashola not facing cases and problems here in lagos despite everything he is doing.
obasanjo wants everybody to lick his shoes and worship him like a god he claims.
i love ibori, kalu and tinubu as they have openly made obasanjo understand that he is just a human.

Hmm. You are right. But justice needs to start from somwhere; with someone. Its not NLs fault that that person happens to be Ibori.

Thief catch thief, I really commend the step been taken but let it not be selective justice, if the likes of OBJ, IBB, Atiku, Abudusalami and numerous lots of them are still walking free and campaining in Nigeria, then they have not even started.

Why would EFCC go after Ibori now of all times? Na today day break? The plan is to disrupt the Uduaghan camp of PDP so that the Clark camp would have an upper hand in delta state. They know that with Ibori in the scheme of things, 2011 PDP primaries/election is a forgone issue in delta state. Clark,Orubebe and Jonathan are in the same camp.

I see another headline in a year or two "FG drops all charges against IBORI"

Pathetic!
