The British Home Office has made clarification on the developments of James Ibori case.

The office that clarified on Wednesday evening that all foreign national offenders given a custodial sentence are normally considered for deportation.

The former Delta State governor is hoping to return to Nigeria on his own terms when his United Kingdom troubles are supposedly over.

In a brief statement, Press Officer Richard Mellor declined to comment on ongoing legal proceedings, describing that as “inappropriate”, when Sahara Reporters contacted.

He, however, pointed out that where offenders are released by an Immigration Judge, the Office procedurally seeks the most stringent bail conditions while it continues to pursue their removal from the UK.

The Royal of Justice Court in London on Wednesday ruled that the former Delta State governor be released following the completion of his conviction on money-laundering charges.

He is, however, to be restricted to flat on Abbey Road in the St. John’s Wood area of London, pending removal proceedings and a confiscation hearing scheduled to begin next month.
