The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to halt the appropriation of 4.2 million pounds recovered from former Gov. James Ibori of Delta.
The resolution followed a unanimous adoption of a motion by Minority Leader Ndudi Elumelu (PDP-Delta) at plenary on Wednesday.
Recall that Nigeria’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, had said that President Muhammadu Buhari directed that the returned loots be deployed for the completion of the second Niger Bridge, the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and the Abuja to Kano expressway.
Malami said this shortly after the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ms. Catriona Laing expressed the country’s readiness to return looted assets worth £4.2 million to Nigeria.
