Ibori Trial

It's good to know that the trial of the ex-governor of Delta State, James Onanefe Ibori, has started at along last.
He has pleaded 'not guilty' to the 103 charges of corruption, money laundering and abuse of office...he couldn't have done less.
This is a real test case for the judiciary as the EFCC has bailed itself by bringing him to the dock.
What becomes of Aondoaka's office? will he continue with his pranks and delay Ibori's trial? if he does, 'his master' will continue to cool his heels in detention unless he converts his 'bribe money' of $15 million to hire lawyers from space.
Why the 'special' priviledge given him to 'stand alone' in corruption trial in Kaduna? maybe to speed up his journey to jail i guess.
Why did his arrest coincide with president Yar'Adua's trip to the US? could the president have instructed otherwise or did he play a fast one on his alleged election sponsor?
