Ms Udoamaka Okoronkwo, the mistress of former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, has regained her freedom after serving her jail-term in a United Kingdom Prison.
Udoamaka, who was tried alongside Ibori’s sister, Christine Ibori-Ibie, was found guilty of money laundering and mortgage fraud and was sentenced to five years by Judge Christopher Hardy of a Southwark London Crown Court on June 7, 2010.
The two women were accused and subsequently convicted of handling
proceeds of criminal transactions on behalf of Ibori while he was
governor of Delta State.
The court however ordered that their sentences be served concurrently
and Okoronkwo-Onuigbo has thus completed her term in prison. The
ex-convict has since returned to Nigeria and was seen in Abuja recently.
Ibori is presently in a UK prison where he is serving a 13-year jail term.
