Desperate to stop an investigation into his finances , Governor James Ibori tried to bribe former anti-corruption chief Nuhu Ribadu in 2007 with $ 15 million in cash in a bag so heavy that one man alone could not lift , Ribadu told a court London on Thursday .

Ribadu said he intended to take the bribe, because he wanted the cash to be used as evidence against Ibori in court , but instead of keeping the money for himself that had that led directly to the Central Bank of Nigeria to be kept safe in a safe. Continue ..

Ribadu told the court that about $ 1 million was allocated to the accounts of the federal government coffers Ibori Delta State for eight years in power , and it is estimated Ibori had stolen or lost more than half of that amount.

The charges he pleaded guilty to stealing Ibori amount of about $ 80 million, but British prosecutors say it was just a part of his total haul , which was kept secret through a complex network of shell companies , accounts offshore and figureheads .

Ribadu , who was chairman of the Committee on Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC ) from April 2003 to December 2007, was giving evidence at a confiscation hearing in which prosecutors seek court orders to have assets seized Ibori .

Under the Constitution of Nigeria , state governors enjoy judicial immunity , but are limited to two terms. With the end of his second term looming in April 2007 concerned the EFCC Ibori were planning to prosecute him , Ribadu said .

"I was desperate to end the investigation," he told the court .

In late April 2007, a meeting was held between the two men in a " neutral place " , the home of Andy Uba , a close associate of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Ibori arrived at the house with several members of his staff and a large black bag containing $ 15 million in cash. Ribadu said he saw two men Ibori lifted the heavy bag and handed it to his own staff EFCC . "It was a bag that a person could not carry alone ," he said .

EFCC men took the bag to the central bank , where the money was counted and packaged in smaller containers. The court was shown photographs of the cash boxes .

" I have given Nuhu money, give my office " , Ribadu said Ibori as saying after those events .

Instead, the EFCC Ibori continued to investigate issues and had arrested on corruption charges on December 12, 2007 .

Remember that the Delta state government had approached the court asking that the money belonged to the state government and therefore should be returned to the State. However, the EFCC oppose returning the money to the state .

The EFCC says " that the sum of $ 15 million can not be traced to any account owned or operated by the Delta State Government or any of its agencies and officials."
