$15m Ibori Bribe: Festus Keyamo Advises on Way Forward
Maverick lawyer, Festus Keyamo, has threatened to go to court over the 15million bribe money controversy if that will bring the suspects to justice.
In a statement today, Mr. Keyamo said he would be heading for the courtroom if in the next few days, “the Federal Government fails, refuses and/or neglects to take appropriate steps to terminate the case in court and properly investigate all the suspects in this matter, whether the principals or proxies who participated in laundering and offering this money as bribe or otherwise.”
The $15million bribe money was allegedly given to the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, by the jailed former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori, to compromise Ribadu and his team, as Ibori sought to evade arrest and prosecution.
