Ibori, others to complete jail terms in Nigeria

Nigeria and the United Kingdom signed an agreement on Thursday on the exchange of prisoners between them.

Under the agreement, high-profile prisoners like former Governor James Ibori of Delta State, and other Nigerians in the UK prisons
will be transferred to Nigeria to complete their jail terms.

There are 521 Nigerians currently serving jail terms in the UK and only one British national in Nigerian prison . According to officials, about 60 per cent of Nigerians in UK jails qualify for the compulsory prison transfer agreement.
