Letter from Lambertus de Boer: Re: Factually Deficient Posting on Sahara Reporters

Mr. Dias: This email is just to give you a "heads up" to make sure that you check your facts before posting incorrect information on the news blog, Sahara Reporters (copy attached). In the future, should such factually incorrect information be posted by you, a libel action would be forthcoming.
I, Lambertus de Boer, was not involved in a trial with the listed parties, "Adebimpe Folayinmi Pogoson, Christine Omatie Ibori-Ibie or Theresa Ibori" in September 2009. I have never dealt with these parties, do not know them and indeed never met them.

Further there was no trial in September 2009 in respect of Mr. Gohil, Mr. McCann and I as you partially suggest or imply. The presumed trial is to do with matters relating to sale of V Mobile common shares by two Nigerian states during 2005 and 2006. Indeed there has yet to be a Plea and Case Management Hearing ("PCMH"), originally set for 22 January 2010 and rescheduled for 26 January 2010. During the short hearing of 26 January 2010 a new date for the PCMH was set for 16 March 2010. This date will be further reset to a date at least 2 months forward. In consequence, we do not know whether there is to be a trial as yet given the likely "Abuse of Process" hearing as well as other matters relating to various factors.

In the event of a trial, the defence case well be addressed vigorously and will in good probability win! There was a valid financial services contract, services were provided and the desired outcome was achieved! The underlying clients made a substantial return on their investment and we were paid the contracted fee! The transaction has been reviewed and investigated at several levels and nothing untoward was found. The clients' accounts have been audited and no funds are missing!

Yours truly,

Lambertus de Boer”

RALLY FOR NIGERIA RESPONSE
Dear Mr. De Boer
Thank you for your email.
I apologise if in any part of the article was factually incorrect
As you correctly state; You were never on trial with Adebimpe Folayinmi Pogoson, Christine Omatie Ibori-Ibie or Theresa Ibori and there was no trial in September 2009
These inaccuracies are merely due to hasty editing on our part and in no way represent an attempt to misrepresent facts.
For the record I will state the facts as presented:
On 9th September 2009, in City of Westminster Magistrates Court the following charges were brought in relation to the sale of V Mobile telecoms shares by two Nigerian States viz. Akwa Ibom State and Delta State against:
Bhadresh Gohil (Date of birth: 5.12.64) of Leesons Hill, Chislehurst, Kent
Daniel McCann (Date of birth:10.7.42) of Valley House, le Vau Bourel, St Mary, Jersey
Lambertus De Boer (Date of birth:13.7.46) of Cray House, 47 Penfold Street, London NW8

- Conspiracy to defraud contrary to common law
- Conspiracy to make false instruments contrary to section 1(1A) of the Criminal Law Act 1977
-Money laundering contrary to section 328 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
-Money laundering contrary to section 328 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
-Money laundering contrary to section 327 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
We wish we could delve deeper into the issue of your clients and their audited accounts but I believe any disclosures in such an issue would prejudice the upcoming trial however I’m sure as you have stated that if the trial is to collapse you would be more than willing to clear up any doubts that might linger as to your honesty.
I will immediately forward the above to Sahara Reporters so as to correct any errors. I look forward to following your trial whenever it comes
 
Best wishes
