 State funds, stolen by former governor, have been returned to Nigeria. Former Delta State Governor James Borey was convicted of money laundering in the UK in 2012 and prosecutors said he stole around $165 million. During his term as governor between 1999 and 2007, he used public funds to buy residences, luxury cars and a private jet, according to British Justice. The federal government has received $5.8 million of the embezzled funds. The recovered money is to be invested in infrastructural projects such as the Lagos to Ibadon Expressway, Diabuja to Karno Road and the Second Niger Bridge.
