Mrs Ajimobi The Wife of Oyo State Governor Denies Money Laundering Arrest in London.

Its all over the news that Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, the wife of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state was involved and arrested for Money Laundering by the Metropolitan Police in London.


Meanwhile, speaking with journalist in a telephone interview on Tuesday October 30th, 2012 the governor's wife (Mrs Ajimobi) said the news are all lies from the opposition parties who are trying to discredit the Ajimobi led administration in the state.

The News was first sighted online through one of the evening newspaper, who published a report entitled"Anxiety over Florence Ajimobi's alleged arrest in UK" which was also claimed by Newsleak, that the wife of the governor had been arrested in London for money laundering.

She was asked if there was any invitation by the Metropolitan police since her arrival in London, which she said, "NO, not at all, I came back with my daughter on Sunday  and am getting ready to come back home. I have not been invited by the police and I don't know what all this is about."

She further said, she took her 14 years old daughter back to school after her holiday.

She was also asked to comment on the rumor that she have traveled more than 50 times since the inception of her husband administration, she simply said, "It then means I am not living in Nigeria. Maybe, when I travel back, I will show you my passport to count how many times i have traveled" she further said, "I will want you to deal with facts. If you look at my passport since 2007 and compare the way I traveled then with the way I travel now, you will discover that I travel less now.

Back at home in Nigeria, the governor has instituted a N1bn suit against the Independent communication Network Limited, publishers of PM News for the report.

James Ibori Sentenced to 13 Years in Prison.



The former governor of Delta state James Ibori has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for corruption and money laundering charges at the Southwark Crown Court 9 in London by Judge Anthony Pitts at about 3.20pm today 17th April, 2012.

Judge Pitts said he "recognizes that there is another side to the man James ibori but he is not the proper person to judge your achievements and failings as a governor, which is up to the people of delta state"
The judge also noted that, if he had fought the case he would be looking at 24 years but will get a discount for pleading guilty. Judge deducts 645 days already spent in jail, says Ibori would serve the rest in British jail. That means Mr. Ibori will be in prison for at least 7 years.

In addition, Judge Pitts said that the sentencing will not be the end of the matter as his property will also be confiscated.

One down, more others to go... All thanks to Southwark Crown Court 9 in London UK.
