Former Liverpool star Jordan Ibe arrested after returning to UK

Former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe, who was once paid £15 million, was arrested at Luton Airport last month and charged with causing actual bodily harm.

Former Liverpool winger Jordan Ibe recently stepped off a plane in England and was arrested on suspicion of causing bodily harm.

Ibe, 30, was arrested at Luton Airport on January 30 after returning from Bulgaria, where he currently plays for Lokomotiv Sofia.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Museum of Art told The Sun: “Jordan Ibe has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. This charge relates to an assault that allegedly occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025.”

“He was arrested at Luton Airport on Friday 30th January and remanded in custody.”

The charges are said to have occurred in December. The former England Under-21 international was granted bail and is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on March 6.

Ibe left Sittingbourne FC in English football’s eighth tier in November to join Bulgarian top team Lokomotiv Sofia.

The winger made a name for himself at Liverpool, where he played from 2012 to 2016 before joining Bournemouth for a club-record £15m.

After returning from Turkey, where he played for Adanaspor, he dropped to non-league, but is currently playing for the 11th club of his career.

Ibe, who made 58 appearances and scored four goals for Liverpool, signed a two-year contract with Lokomotiv Sofia in December.

At the time, the Bulgarian side said in a statement: “After a difficult few seasons, Jordan is ready to revive his career and we all believe that this will happen at Lokomotiv. The Lokomotiv management wishes Jordan Ibe health, happiness and success in the red and black jersey.”
