The statement noted that sometimes when a country transfers funds, it may take a little bit time more than expected due to some documentation.

He said the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and other relevant government agencies will keep the general public informed once the Ibori loot are received and confirmed.

He also added that the Federal Government of Nigeria is in touch with the government of the United Kingdom on the matter.
