According to Reuters, a British judge has demanded that former governor of Nigeria's Delta state James Ibori return £100m ($130m).
In 2012, Ibori was found guilty of fraud and money laundering in a London court. He was incarcerated in Britain for part of his term but has now returned to Nigeria.
According to Reuters, the judge ordered Ibori to pay the money right away or risk going back to jail.
Ibori had already told Reuters that he planned to challenge the verdict.
