This is a
signed press statement by Tony Eluemunor, Media Assistant to Chief James
Onanefe Ibori.
A British Crown Court
has ordered the immediate release of documents and other materials uncovered by
James Ibori's former solicitor Gohil Bhadresh suggesting that British
Metropolitan Police Officers investigating James Ibori, fraudulently obtained
materials and documents against Gohil Bhardesh and James Ibori.
A press statement from Tony Eluemunor,
Chief Ibori’s Media Assistant, said that His Honour Judge Tester of Southwark
Crown Court on Friday directed the prosecution to comply with his order made on
January 21st this year and release to James Ibori's counsels the documents. The
prosecution had initially refused to release the documents and other materials
which suggested police involvement in corruption and fraud in the James Ibori's
and Gohil Bhadresh's case.
This order followed the dramatic turn
of event in the case brought by the Crown Prosecution against Gohil accusing
him of attempt to pervert the course of justice but which the crown prosecution
dropped following damaging and incriminating documents uncovered by Gohil
Bhadresh which the Prosecution had lied ever existed.
The allegations of corruption and
documents suggesting thousands of pound sterling were paid into the bank
account of the investigating police officers involved in the case and attempt
by both the crown prosecution and the British Police to cover up this grave
misconducts have greatly damaged the credibility of materials and documents
relied upon by the crown and police in this case. Subsequently, all the crown
prosecutors and police officers handling the case have been removed from the
case.
According to the statement, a new vista
has opened in the Ibori London trial, as James Ibori's former solicitor, Gohil
Bhadresh has approached the court of appeal to quash his conviction because the
Police and the crown prosecution may have misled the court and have been neck
deep in corruption. This new development may totally change this whole case as
the new documents suggesting Police misconduct in the handling of the case may
mean the last has not been heard in James Ibori's trial in London.
