The sentencing of a former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, has begun.
The court started regrouping at about 2:25pm, with news men and lawyers allowed in first.
Judge Anthony Pitts said the process of the trial must be completed with the confiscation of the properties illegally acquired by Ibori.
Without doing this, justice, the judge said, would not have been served.
The sentencing is still on.
