Thousands of pounds sterling paid to corrupt British investigating police and attempts by both the prosecutor and the police to cover up the grave frauds have damaged the credibility of the prosecutors and police officers leading to their sack.
But more important, the exposure of the fraudulent prosecutor and the corrupt police officers handling the tial and conviction of Chief James Onanefe Ibori, have dramatically turned the tables in favour of the ex-Delta governor.
In other words, the new court order releasing the documents may totally change the whole case as the new documents suggesting police misconduct in the handling of the case may mean the last has not been heard in James Ibori’s trial in London.
A British Crown Court has ordered the immediate release of the documents and other materials uncovered by Ibori’s former solicitor Gohil Bhadresh suggesting British Metropolitan Policer Officers investigating James Ibori, fraudulently obtained materials and documents against Gohil Bhardesh and James Ibori.
Judge Tester of Southwark Crown Court on Friday directed the prosecution to comply with his order made on January 21, this year and release to James Ibori’s counsels the documents.
The prosecution had initially refused to release the documents and other materials which suggested police involvement in corruption and fraud in the James Ibori’s and Gohil Bhadresh’s case.
The order followed the dramatic turn of event in the case brought by the Crown Prosecution against Gohil accusing him of attempt to pervert the course of justice but which the crown prosecution dropped following damaging and incriminating documents uncovered by Gohil Bhadresh which the Prosecution had lied ever existed.
The allegations of corruption and documents suggesting thousands of pound sterling were paid into the bank account of the investigating police officers involved in the case and attempts by both the crown prosecution and the British Police to cover up the grave misconducts have greatly damaged the credibility of materials and documents relied upon by the crown and police in the Ibori case.
Subsequently the crown prosecutors and police officers handling the case have been sacked.
James Ibori’s former solicitor, Gohil Bhadresh has approached the court of appeal to quash his conviction because the Police and the crown prosecution may have misled the court and were corrupted.
