More facts are now emerging from the United Kingdom(UK) over the fraudulent life of James Ibori and his wife Theresa Nkoyo Ibori (Nee Nakanda).
According to our reporters an
online news agency,its investigators had unearthed never before published information about Ibori's criminal past in London in the early 1990's.
According to the UK court document obtained by Atibanews reporter, James Ibori was twice convicted for stealing and dishonest act by the UK courts in 1991 and 92.
In his first trial, his then girlfriend (now wife),Theresa Nakanda was convicted along with Mr Ibori on January 25,1991 at the Isle Worth crown court in London 

In that trial, Theresa Nakanda who gave her date of birth as January 5th 1968, was convicted on two counts charged and fined 300 pounds and 450 pounds respectively. James Ibori who according to court document have his date of birth as August 4th 1962, was also fined in the same amount.
At the time of his conviction, Ibori lived in the Middlesex area of London.
Ibori(who used "obori" as his last name)was working as a store cashier in London with Wickes, a home improvement chain. The court case charged that Ibori aided his girlfriend, Theresa Nakanda to steal building materials from the store over a period of time.
According to the Procesecutor, Ms Nakanda would come into the store where Ibori was working 
to buy building materials and Ibori, as the  cashier, would act as if she had paid for the product by checking her out through his cashier slot. She was never paid.

Court details revealed that Ibori and his girl friend carried on their defrauding of Wickes stores for a long period of time. Unknown to them, Security cameras were  monitors their activities and, sometimes in 1991, Policemen were called in to arrest both Ibori and Theresa Nakanda.
The Isle worth crown court convicted them both for  stealing. They were left go after paying 300 and 450 pounds each as fines for stealing and dishonest act.
Despite that conviction, Ibori continued his acts of fraud in the UK. In 1992 he was arrested for using an American Express Gold Credit Card stolen from another person. he was tried at the clerk unwell magistrates courts and convicted for stealing and credit card fraud.
Again the courts imposed fines of 300 and 400 pounds respectively as penalty.
Ironically a man named James Ibori and widely believed to be the former governor of Delta state was in 1995 convicted by a Bwari magistrates Court in Abuja for stealing building materials.

However, when two citizens of Delta state challenged Ibori competence to run for the governorship by drawing attention to his conviction,the former governor according to a lawyer who asked not to be named, heavily bribes judges of the federal courts of appeals as well as the Justice's of the supreme Court.
The judges who handle the case ignored obvious testimonies by the judges who convicted Ibori, and ruled that Governor James Ibori was not the same James Ibori who was  convicted, said the lawyer "it was a sad moment for the Nigeria  judiciary. It was as if there was another James Ibori out there. The judges knew better. There was no Ibori who was apart from the man who was Governor. Nobody has ever heard of or seen the other " Ibori".he doesn't exist.
Ibori reputation as a big briber 

may now complicate his case before a federal high Court in Kaduna where he was on  Thursday charged on more than a Hundreds counts of corruption,graft and money laundry.
In may 2007, Ibori tried to bribe Mallam Nuhu Ribadu,the Chairman of the Economics and Financial Crimes Commision with $15 million in order to persuade the Commision to drop corruption charges against him.
