James Ibori's billions and trust fund deal

Courtesy: The Punch

So news making the rounds now is that my ex-governor, James Onanefe Ibori has cut a deal to relinquish some of his stolen loot (Total estimated to be about N45 billion......nna men dat is money o!) to a trust fund that could finance development projects. In exchange, foreign governments will agree not to prosecute him. It is a welcomed idea but something no too pure for the matter. First of all, it seems fishy that foreign Western governments will agree to such a deal. It seems too easy a deal for someone whose accomplices (girlfriend, sister and lawyer) have already been found guilty and sentenced. Secondly, (if at all this deal is really on the table) when they use english too much to describe the initiative, there is always something fishy there. I would have loved details of what specific kinds of projects the fund will finance (small business initiatives, scholarships, rehabilitating prisoners etc), who will be in charge of managing and disbursing the funds etc. Lastly, I am most suspicious of this because of the Amnesty program campaigned for by Yar Adua. We heard of the program but after the militants started accepting the amnesty deal, we haven't heard much from that end. How exactly are they being rehabilitated? Even if the number of attacks have reduced, are they still mobilizing? Is the government taking care of the issues that made these men and women pick up arms in the first place? This kind of trust fund something can go the way of the Amnesty program IMO.
