 were reports during the week that the British Government was determined
 to resurrect an outstanding case of money laundering against the former
 governor and had requested for his extradition to London. 
Alamieyeseigha,
 who was facing money laundering charges, jumped bail and returned to 
Nigeria and has since then refused to answer summons for trial to 
continue.
