'I have lost faith in the British Judicial system' says nigeria's 'Robinhood' chief James Ibori

Former governor, from 1999 to 2007 of the oil rich state in Nigeria, Delta state,  Chief James Onanefe Ibori,  might be labeled “Robin Hood” politician, for example, because he robs the rich and redistributes their wealth to the poor. Anyways that would be a tale for another.

In a bid to reverse his 13 year sentence, chief James Ibori who had served the term had appealed against the alleging misconduct by the British Police and prosecutors, which he argued, tainted the judicial process.

He however, lost the bid.

Earlier before the decision was made yesterday, Wednesday 18 2018, he had told reporters that he had lost faith in the British judicial system saying his conviction was a miscarriage of justice.

his statement read in part as published by some online tabloids;

“Let me re-state unequivocally what I stated in my application for leave to appeal my conviction at the Court of Appeal. I continue to hold that I am a victim of political persecution.
‘’Consequently, I have lost faith in British justice system and the ability of the British legal system to dispense justice fairly because it is deeply entrenched in politics and international conspiracy funded by Department for International Development, DFID. I have been through it and have observed first-hand the desperation and wicked machinations inherent in a process that pronounces you guilty then finds evidence to cover up a corrupt system at all cost even at the detriment of the integrity of the judicial process.

The Crown Prosecution Service deliberately spat on the law when they willfully disregarded the stipulations of the law governing the use of disclosures as applicable to evidence procured through telephone intercept, and even the rules that govern wiretapping itself.
‘’This flaw is unpardonable in British legal system even in serious cases like terrorism much less fraud and money laundering of which prison terms have been served and expired. Thus the lengthy delay can only point to conspiratorial cover-up and silence.’’
The Court of Appeal in London would tomorrow, rule on the application for leave to appeal on the grounds of massive disclosure failures on the part of the Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan Police.

Well, the outcome came as he predicted. 

Don't worry Chief, you are still loved.
