The embattled for managing director of Oceanic Bank Plc entered a plea deal with EFCC prosecutors and was subsequently sentenced to a six-month term in jail but will have to forfeit over N191 billion in cash and assets to the government.
The former managing director was charged for several financial offences including money laundering, wire fraud and abuse of office amongst other after she was sacked by the central bank in the wake of the last global melt down.
She was also evicted from her family home on Queen’s drive following her removal as managing director of Oceanic Bank. Mrs. Ibru had fraudulently leased the property to the bank as a ‘Guest House’ for her exclusive use at a ridiculously inflated rate and subsequently lost the property to the bank when she was eased out as GMD.
Details of the plea deal has not yet been made public but the assets traced to her in the Upper Marlboro area of Maryland, United States are registered either to her son’s wife, Kemi Da silva, her son, Obaro or daughter Janet.
The Assets are:
1. 4155 Chariot Way purchased for $452,508,00 on March 12, 2009 and registered to Anita Da silva Ibru,

11. 11300 Dappled Grey Way purchased for $987,949.00 on October 7, 2008 and registered to herself.
There are also about 57 properties in Lagos Abuja and Port Harcourt. They include:
1. 15,000 square metres of land at Okunade Water Front, Victoria Island in Lagos.
2. 12-storey Tower on one hectare of land at Ozumba Mbadiwe Water Front, Lagos

11. 4B, 5B George Street, Ikoyi.
12. Metro Plaza Building in Abuja where the British Visa Section is located.
Some of the companies which she used to launder funds include Cloudy Heights, Enifor, Prisky Gold, Bliss Bloss, Velvox and Circular Global, which she used to acquire over 275 million shares in First Bank Nigeria Plc for N275,795,139.

Wow, how can only one person steal all this money for themselves????
http://lookingglassofanimmigrant.blogspot.com/
Linda, note that it is not N150mn but N150bn
i'm speechless, n to think she 'used' 2 b 1 o my role models. just pitiful.
Only 150million and 6 months??
That is less than a slap on the wrist. It is good to have money in Nigeria o!!
I hope she burns for what she did to us innocent n working little people! 6 months in jail is nothing but am happy all these assets were confiscated from her. She already came from a rich family so this is pure greed and selfishness at its peak. If she dies in jail, it does not even compensate for the evil her type commit everyday! I hope all the ex-governors n IBB n OBJ dem will follow suit asap!!! I lost so much money that I borrowed to invest in the stock market that these pigs inflated for their own good n now am in a big fix, n no help in sight bc of these animals that are disgised as humans. My husband thinks am a bit harsh but when u find urself in my position, you'll be mad at the beasts too. That's my opinion n everyone has his/her own.
So she knew what she was doing was wrong? Chai, how the mighty are fallen!
i'm appalled at this old woman's behaviour. " What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul" enuff said
mscheeeeeeeeeew!!!
and she only got six months??? wow...the things money and "knowing someone" can do.... she should get like 10 - 25 for that... it wasnt small money... she basically ran a bank to the ground and tried to flee... so if they catch someone doing yahoo yahoo the person's jail time should probably be one week!
SADDDDDDDDDD!!!! They should arrest more! Includung the politicians! Its about time we enforce some of the laws we have in the books!
Linda its N150 BILLION not Million!
Whao! just six months for all these stealing. I beg I wan steal too o and I go do plea bargaining if I am caught. But the fact remains that she don become an ex convict.
SO, for all these....naa only six months in jail dey come give am...Justice INDEED!...mschhew!!!
are you serious? my pastor was always preaching about this woman when i was in nigeria. she not try at all
Whatever a man sow, he shall reap....
very good for her.serves as a deterrent to both existing and potential MDs.we believe other verdicts are still coming.cecilia go and suffer for a while.
:( Once upon a time, she was my 'career' role model.
R u Fucking serious six months in prison for allegedly making innocent people penny less come on ikoyi high fucking court can do better than that. Am guessing they must have paid some official off
oju ole re, ole! hope i got dat right. y not 25yrs in prisonment? is it bcos she is cecelia ibru?
kai!!how the mighty have fallen!!!and to think people like Babaginda are still walking about freely and even want to rule the country again!!My God is not asleep o
hhhmmmmmmmmmm a tire .What shalL it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world n loose his soul in hell
God help us. GREED! WILL NOT KILL US
One person, all these assets, while millions of Nigerians can't afford square meal. This can only happen in the land of the ignorants.
Just confirmed the real figure on Channels tv- It's officially N191bn
may GOD PUNISH HER ABAUNDANTLY
FEMALE THIEF.
6MONTHS ISNT ENUF AS FAR AS CONCERNED.
Wow, I must say, I didn't think the Nigerian law system had it in them. 6 months is a joke, the French trader who was convicted was given 5 years but we start somewhere I guess..
Oya shey the bubble has burst she should pay her way outa this one! Mscheew. One shuld learn to cut ones coat according to their size. What was she using all these things for? Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.
I know some people would say that her jail term is too small. But honestly she had to forfeit 150 billion naira in assets. Also for such a public figure to go to jail is so shameful in Nigerian society,that even if she served one day that is the end of her. I am proud of our Justice System. This would put fear into more corrupt individuals. We are moving forward.

Greedy bitch! This woman should ve been jailed for life.. This is one of d reasons why Nigeria is still a fucked up country filled with Aliens alike.. Bet y'all will still see their children and treat them like kings and queens, the funniest thing is these niggaz dont even marry nigerians, their picking damn british and ethopian chicks too share the wealth of nigerians with, and waste their wealth on holidays in the most luxurious parts of the world, spending ur wealth while adding to other country's economy while nigerian's economy go down the drain, while the real owners of the wealth nigerians suffer in silence. Time to wake up y'all, this is definitely not our forefathers fought and died for. FUCK THE IBRUS, YES, I MEAN ALL OF THEM!
She bought justice. Poor and desperate folks get laced with tyre for stealing pennies, but this big thief of a woman only got six months? The law is an ass, a joker, and an idiot. They were too lenient on her. They should have served her Sharia Law and chop away her hands. Imagine if a Mr or Mrs nobody committed same offences and wrecked same havoc, whoever would have been put away for many years, not months. N150 million forfeiture is too lenient. She should have been sent down for at least 10 years. There's no deterrent for other bankers not to follow in her footstep. She won some award in London for being Naija's best banker or whatever. I watched a Youtube video where this woman was talking “good” and about corporate banking in Nigeria, etc. I thought this woman was amongst the decent ones. I feel she and her legal team disclosed only assets that could be traced. The US government should prosecute her, her children and daughter-in-law for money laundering. She was only found out due to the global recession. There are many bankers, pa$tor$, and bi$hop$ who are as rotten as this thieving Mrs Cecilia Ibru.
Common thief, agboro, bamza, onyeoshi, ole.
6 months pere?
While I sympathise with Mrs. Ibru, I do realise the iron fact that disciples of corruption will in the long run disgrace themselves in any society like Bernard Madoff, Kenny Martins, etc. Greed does not pay. It never has, and never will!
Wow. I hope people learn from this!
http://temiville.wordpress.com/
old woman like this..what does she want to do with all these assets...some nigerians are innately evil, and their consciences have been seared with hot iron. i am also surprised she wasnt investigated here in america..i have lived in the USA long enough to know that buying so many houses on one street stinks to high heavens, and with the housing crisis she should have been probed..i can swear the FBI is building a monumental case against her..they do not play...what a piece of trash..is this what nija does to ppl...i am mortified!!!! oya her arrogant sons obaro and oboden are next...
what a shame ... vanity upon vanity ........what is she doing with all this wealth.... you can only sleep or be in one place at a time.... she deserves to serve a longer term
wendu
this country just scares me...
Ole aji bole. 6months is too small.. it should be 10 years. What does she want to do with all the properties? Biko, put the obese woman for kirikiri, make she shed some fat small.
What will it profit a man to inherit the earth and loose heaven?
IBB and co will follow too in Jesus name... Make una help me say amen now! AMEN OOOOOOOO.
wow 6 months pere? O ga o...so Adegbola to will get like 6 or 12 months. Is ok. O ti daa...Nigeria we hail thee
She mismanaged $6 billion dollars, and forfeits $1 million? Good gracious. Which brainless fuck presided over this case?.. Cos he/she certainly needs to be killed.
What a man can do a Woman can do better.
Convicted of fraud? Wow. Her step mother would be laughing at her.
ole ajibole! ole ajibole!! ole ajibole!!! shioooo!
shame on u madam. u worse pass yahoo yahoo boyz. make FBI put eye for this matter, na life sentence u go get. barawo, onye oshi. lol
Wow, corruption at its best. I had so much respect for this woman back in the day!!
did she think she will go to hell with all that money and assets...shame on her...i have no words totally speechless!!!
The Ibrus are very rich, so i don't think she did it. I guess she admitted it in order to receive a lenient punishment.
My 2 cents.

International Thief Thief: How British Banks Are Complicit In Nigerian Corruption - A report by Global Witness | October 2010.

I am not quite sure what purpose jailing her will serve- are they really sure she stole money? She is already a very wealthy woman in her own right- admittedly, renting out buildings you own to your own bank and making money out of the rent is not a done thing but I think we readers on this blog should be very very careful before jumping to pass judgement on this woman- you can really only accuse others of what you yourself are doing.
This old Woman is a yahoo QUEEN worse than a murderer . She is evil, very heartless and greedy. The love of money is the root of all evil. Yahoo Queen, you are the worst Nigerian ever, may you rot in hail or jail.
She gets 6 months that she will get to serve in a private hospital (Reddington in VI I believe) so for 6 months she will feign illness and get to visit with friends and family and eat good food and get fatter.
So what if she forfeits 191billion naira in assets? She still has a ton of money hidden, how else would her son get to snort my month's salary worth of coke every weekend?
This judgement just goes to show you that if you're going to break the law, break it in a big way, because nothing go happen
And dem talk say she be redeemed christian church of God member (Born Again.)???? I no say some pple go say may I no judge am; say becos she be church goer. But my dear, bible talk say some people done becos of riches leave the faith. Bible come talk say make de pple wey get riches no behave arrogantly, say becos money get wings and im dey fly. Abeg, may we search our scriptures before we scream "judge not!!!!" Madam Cecilia abi na auntie Cecilia, u fore gi all those houses to people wey no get accomodation, and de tin be say dem no go repay you sha, but ur reward go plenty for heaven. True, the good Bible wey be the word of our good God talk am. But e be like say u no get advisers but ass lickers wey go dey tell you "yes madam" for errytin. Well, only God knows best and to Him be all the glory.

Wonder why they all feel remorseful when they are caught, didn't they know it was a crime when they were committing fraud?
