Udoamaka Onuigbo yet to find her feet
TWO years after she was released from prison in the United Kingdom, Udoamaka Okoronkwo-Onuigbo, the celebrated mistress of former Delta State governor, Chief James Ibori, is yet to find her feet.
Part of her problem, we gathered, is not unconnected with the stigma of ex-convict which she is battling with. Apart from this, busybodies said her wine retail business was not well managed while she was in UK and ever since she returned, she has been struggling to revive it.
Onuigbo, who had a child for Ibori, was found guilty on a three-count charge of money laundering in June 2010 and was sentenced to five years in prison by Judge Christopher Hardy of a Southwark London Crown Court.
