BEVERLY HILLS, May 24, (THEWILL) – Before his incarceration in a London prison for money laundering, a former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, never hid his love for women.
According to the gossip mill, the ex-governor kept quite a few of them as lovers, beside his now estranged wife and former first lady, Nkoyo, who has since disappeared from the radar after serving time in a London prison for helping him launder funds. One of those favoured women is Geraldine Uju Ibori, nee Ononiba, whom he met long before Senami Sosu, his constant companion before his incarceration and who has remained by his side since his release from prison.
Ibori was so smitten with Geraldine, whom he met at a friend’s wedding ceremony, that he married her immediately after her graduation from law school and soon after she bore him a son. However, the marriage rites, it was gathered, were performed without Nkoyo’s knowledge. She managed to find out much later. Shortly before Ibori’s incarceration in the United Kingdom, Geraldine vanished into the thin air. Many have wondered what may have become of her. There is talk that he may have relocated her to the United States of America while he was being pursued by security operatives, where she has remained.
