Breaking News! James Ibori Granted Bail

THEWILL can authoritatively report that Chief James Onanefe Ibori has been released by authorities in Dubai.

A source told THEWILL that though he is yet to speak to him, he was released on health grounds.

THEWILL checks however revealed that the former governor was given 'a temporary reprieve' because his health had deteriorated recently as he is known to suffer from high blood pressure.

Chief Ibori was temporarily released weekend to get some needed adequate medical care as he continues to battle his extradition to London.

Ibori's lawyers had filed bail papers not long ago according to sources familair with the matter, but the full details of his release are still being kept under wraps from THEWILL.

But a source said it is not yet uhuru for the former governor and his supporters and asked those who wish the politician well to continue to say prayers for him, not just for his tribulations but most especially, for his deteriorating health.

THEWILL's attempt to get an official statement from Chief Ibori or his associates have so far been unsuccessful.
