The UK has agreed to return an additional £6.8m to Nigeria from the money seized from jailed ex-Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori.

There are reports that an additional £80 million has been temporarily seized and a confiscation hearing has been fixed for April 2015 before the judge decides exactly how much was stolen out of the £80 million and then return it to Nigeria
Ibori who is still serving a jail term, was sentenced by the British Southcrown Court in April 2012 for 13 years after being convicted for fraud and money laundering.
