The £4.2million looted by a former Delta state Governor, JAMES IBORI, and recently repatriated from the United Kingdom by the federal government, has been returned to Delta state.
The Accountant General of the Federation, Mr. AHMED IDRIS gave this indication in Abuja when he appeared before the House of Representatives' Ad hoc Committee on Assessment and Status of All Recovered Loots Movable and Immovable Assets from 2002 to 2020 by Agencies of the Federal Government.
The essence of the hearing was to ensure that recovered looted funds are put into effective use in the overall benefit of the country.
The Accountant-General, who was grilled by the committee for over one hour, stated that such funds looted from the treasury of a state are always returned to the state.
But Delta state government has denied receiving the recovered money from the federal government.
