UK Police Insist Attah Has Case To Answer;

SR Offers Former Gov. London Plane Ticket

As the Ibori trial gets set to start in London, the Metropolitan Police have also vowed to track down a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Victor Obong Attah, to answer charges of stealing V-Mobile shares.

London Metropolitan Police officers told SaharaReporters today they are actively seeking the former governor for prosecution.  Mr. Attah had claimed in a report in The Guardian (Nigeria) a few days ago that the Metropolitan Police did not indict him.

The Metropolitan Police told us Mr. Attah knows better, and urged him to visit the UK if he is confident he is not under indictment.  Others being sought along with former Governor Attah include David Edevbie, a former Principal Secretary to Umaru Yar'Adua; Love Ojakovo, a former Commissioner of Finance to Ibori; and Henry Imashekka, a business associate of Ibori’s.
