Delta State Government on Wednesday, May 26, said it had not received the 4.2 million pounds Ibori Loot, returned by the United Kingdom.Â
Â
It said although the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr Ahmed Idris, had disclosed on Tuesday, May 25, before the House of Representatives Committee on Recovered Assets, in Abuja, that the funds had been released to the state, the money was yet to be received by the state government.
Â
The government, however, said in a statement by Mr Olisa Ifeajika, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, in Asaba, that it was in contact with the Federal Government, especially the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, on the issue.
Â
It expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for releasing the funds to the state, and assured that it would acknowledge receipt of the funds as soon as it is received.
