Oh look, surprise! Another Nigerian governer runs off witht he countries money. Is anyone actually shocked? This is a continuing problem and the Met have uncovered a spec of dust in a pile of rubble.

UK financial institutions are the ones that really get away with it. Even the most cursory glance at Nigerian politics would reveal the real source of Ibori's wealth. Banks are supposed to undertake KYC on clients - the branch manager of Barclays where this particular account was held should face criminal charges, along with the senior management who deflect any discussion with their glib 'no comment'. How long are we to accept the pleas of ignorance by supposed professionals, closing our eyes to their complicity in the looting of Africa?

This is a good song to hear; but for the tragedy of it all, one would have danced. But the truth is, this is just a microcosm of it all. The regime in which this kleptomaniac participated reeked of corruptuion form head to toe, despite the dubious piety of the head of the regime, General (rtd.) Olusegun Obasanjo. Many Nigerians have no business rotting away in strange climes but for the perfidious lunacy of their so-called leaders. As we say back home, every day for the thief, one day for the owner. To Times and the MET, thanks for a job well done. And just to remind the West: Stop all these criminals who bamboozoole you with talks about helping to stop wars in Africa. The situation in the Niger Delta is a proof that these ones are incapable of guaranteeing the safety of your investments. Get on their backs now so as to prevent another rounds of 'debt forgiveness' concerts in the next few years. Get these irresponsible lot to pay you; they are the real debtors.

Did you hear that, a governor buying an amoured 'Maybach'. These thieves dream of living like David Beckham or some Italian godfathers, but they lack the brains and guts to work for their grand tastes. Their only means of living in dreamworld is to steal from Nigerian poor masses!

Nigeria would have been a far more better place to live than anywhere in the world if people like Ibori had used state funds for projects they were made for instead of diverting them .
Did Ibori forget the adage: 'the morsel of food that comes from the side of the pot goes to the side of the mouth!
Obasanjo and co you guys are next!

It beggars belief that so called politicians in Nigeria go about parading themselves as having earned enormous wealth before attaining political office with no track record whatsoever in business. Fact is in an evironment where looters are glamourised and adored the likes of Ibori rule the roost. The gallant efforts of the Met in tackling the looting of public funds meant for the long suffering people of the Niger Delta is to be applauded but before the we remove the cork from the champagne bottle to celebrate we should challenge the Nigerian government to do more to apprehend the affluence of the other Iboris and call them to account for their wealth. Without naming names I think we all know who they are, look no further than the state governors who received the most revenue allocation in Nigeria with nothing to show for it other than lining their greedy selfish pockets.

Many thanks to the Met Police even though there are still many other Iboris undisturbed for it is an undisputable fact that every other ex-governor has committed similar, if not worse crimes than Ibori. We all know that being an incorruptible state governor or minister or indeed any public post with financial votes in Nigeria is virtually impossible...
My main concern however, is for Dr. Sam Egwu who plundered our poor Ebonyi State to be brought to book.
Bravo to the Met Police and shame unto enlightened Nigerians in the UK who have refused to heed my call for genuine Nigerian in Europe and America to organise themselves and begin to contribute towards building a successful Nigeria by at least, helping to expose those who hide our monies here and elsewhere. If responsible Nigerians in UK and other first world countries where our resources are being stashed could organise and work towards exposing more Iboris, Nigeria would change in a matter of months..

That is the tip of the ice-berg. Some are still been protected by their God-father (Obasanjo). When nemesis catches up with them, every Kobo would be regugitated. Well done, MET, well done The Sunday Times for the expose.

Raymond, asaba, Delta State, Nigeria

It's so sad that, these kleptomaniac "ruler" are hell bent on destroying Nigeria! How many white people have stolen money from their country and take it to Africa? Please, we would like to know where Dictator Ibrahim Babangida is hiding the money he stole from Nigeria! Hopefully, they are jailed for the rest of their rooting life!

No wonder Barclays is still doing business in Zimbabwe.

Thank you Great Britain for rescuing our stolen funds.

Blair and Brown are proving to be real friends of Africa.

We will cooperate eagerly with funds used to support terror groups when you show that there will be no tolerance for those who siphon money from poor countries to the West.
