Ibori-Uduaghan’s Rot: Confessions of a Top-ranking Insider!

Recently, a close ally of Ibori and Uduaghan made some confessions. And this is one who we thought did not only share with the duo the underpinning crude dynamics that created all the rot Ibori and Uduaghan gave Delta, but was co-operator of the machine that drove all that to most damning level...
