\n
The Delta State Government has denied receiving \u00a3 4.2 million\u00a0looted by its former governor, James Ibori.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The Accountant General\u00a0of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, \u00a0on Tuesday, \u00a0while appearing before the Senate committee investigating the status of recovered loot noted that the fund has been returned to the state.<\/p>\n

However, the Chief Press Secretary to the\u00a0state government, Olisa Ifejika, on Wednesday countered the Accountant General\u2019s claim, insisting the oil-rich state is yet to receive\u00a0the money.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the efforts of the Federal Government to return the recovered loot to Delta State where it rightly belongs. But the truth is that the money has not hit the Delta State government\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw it yesterday like every other Nigerian when the\u00a0Accountant General\u00a0of the Federation Ahmed Idris while appearing before the House of Reps committee on recovered loot made that statement and there was this avalanche\u00a0of enquires to know whether that money has come to us and the truth is that the money has not come.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy that they have shown willingness to return send the money and we know that very soon, the money will come,\u201d Ifejika said while addressing journalists at the Government House in Asaba, the state capital.<\/p>\n

He assured that the Delta\u00a0State governmentwill ensure that the funds are judiciously utilised to improve infrastructure across the state, once received.<\/p>\n

The loot \u2013 \u00a34.2 million\u00a0\u2013 was seized from the associates\u00a0of convicted former Governor of Delta State, Ibori by the United Kingdom and recently returned to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
