Cecilia Ibru "arrested" by EFCC

August 25, 2009

Image removed.Former Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Bank plc, Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, is in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).  She surrendered to officials of the commission at 2.45 PM Nigerian time today.


It was previously speculated that Mrs. Ibru had fled the country like her counterpart, Erastus Akingbola of InterContinental bank. She was
declared wanted by the agency, but while she was underground, she began a lawsuit that legal sources said gave her enough confidence to
meet with EFCC officials.

Officials of the anti-corruption agency, which has lost tremendous credibility locally and internationally in recent times, confirmed to Saharareporters that Mrs. Ibru is currently undergoing interrogation at the Ikoyi office of the commission.
