The Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris says the £4.2m looted by ex-Delta State Governor, James Ibori, has been returned to the state.
The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami argued that the law that was alleged to have been breached by Ibori was a federal law and that the parties of interests involved in the repatriation of the funds were national and not sub-national governments.
He says the major consideration relating to who is entitled to a fraction or perhaps the money in its entirety is a function of law and international diplomacy.
