Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has expressed that using the loot recovered from former Delta State Governor, James Ibori for Federal Government projects is unjust.

He expressed that using the latest £4.2m (N2.2bn) tranche of the Ibori loot to fund the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the Abuja-Kano railway, would be unjust since such projects would have no direct impact on the lives of the people of Delta.

He argued that since the funds emanated from the Delta State treasury, it would only be proper for the money to be used for the development of the state.
