IBORI SENTENCED TO 13 YEARS IMPRISONMENT

By SaharaReporters, New York.

Judge Anthony Pitts has sentenced former Governor James Ibori to 13 years in prison for money laundering.



The judge said he "recognizes that there is another side to the man James ibori," but that he was not "the proper person to judge your achievements and failings as a governor. That is up to the people of Delta State."



Mr. Ibori looked lost and forlorn as Judge Pitts spoke before announcing his jail sentence.



The judge disclosed that, if Mr. Ibori had fought the case, he would be looking at a 24-year jail sentence, but noted that the former governor got a reprieve for pleading guilty.



He then sentenced Mr. Ibori to 13 years behind bars in a UK prison, judge Pitt is also expected to rule over the confiscation of all of ibori's property, although date for the hearing has not been announced.

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.
