Exclusive! After Jail Term, Convicted Rogue Banker, Cecilia Ibru Resumes Work At Aero Contractors Airline
March 15, 2012 // 25 Comments
It is no longer news that the convicted former Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Bank PLC, Mrs Cecilia Ibru has completed her six months prison term. What is however new as exclusively uncovered by
ireports-ng.com is that the rogue banker is now starting a new life at Aero Contractors, an airline wholly owned by the Ibru family.
Mrs Ibru was convicted of bank and securities fraud on October 8, 2010 by a former chief judge of the federal high court, Justice Dan Abutu in Lagos after she was arrested, detained and arraigned in court on a 25 count charge by the Farida Waziri-led EFCC. Beside her plea bargain induced conviction, Cecilia forfeited over N190 billion assets to the government. The forfeited assets are now being managed by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON.
While her bank, Oceanic Bank PLC where the Ibrus have the controlling shares has been sold to Ecobank PLC, the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) last December banned her from the banking profession by striking out her name, Cecilia Ibru who was until then a Honorary Fellow of the Institute, from its register of members as provided by Section.16 of CIBN Act.
According to the CIBN, the development is in furtherance, maintenance and observance of ethical standards and professionalism among practitioners of the banking profession in Nigeria.
The institute had earlier removed its former president and former CEO of Intercontinental Bank Mr. Erastus Akingbola, from the board.
According to the CIBN, the decision to bar Ibru was taken in line with the CIBN’s Disciplinary Tribunal on Monday, December 12, 2011, which was confirmed by the Governing Council of the Institute, at its meeting of Tuesday, December 13, 2011.
The Disciplinary Tribunal, comprising eminent members of the banking profession with a retired Justice of the Supreme Court as an Assessor, in a unanimous decision, granted the CIBN’s request that: the name of Cecilia Ibru be struck out of the list of members of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (as provided by S 14(2) of CIBN Act), and that Cecilia Ibru should cease from being a member of the banking profession (as provided by S. 22(1) of CIBN Act).
Faced with total ostracism from her banking constituency, Cecilia who was said to have completed her jail sentence last March, has no option but to step into the family airline business where she presently controls the affairs of the 51 years old Aero Contractors airline.
A competent source in the airline who confirmed the development to
ireports-ng.com said “madam has since last year resumed here in our local airport office after a major restructuring that saw Captain Akinlawon George emerge as the MD late last year. Though Captain George is the MD but madam(Cecilia) is the ultimate or final approving authority as we speak.”
Responding to another question, the top Aero official added that “madam does not really come everyday because of health issues and to avoid being seen frequently by passengers, but more often than not she spends quality time in the office two or three times a week.”
According to the information provided by the airline “Aero Contractors of Nigeria was formed in 1959 as a wholly owned by Schreiner Airways B.V of the Netherlands. It became a company with initially 40% Nigerian holding in 1973 and subsequently 60% in 1976.
“In January 2004 Schreiner Airways was bought by Canadian Helicopter Corporation(CHC) who acquired 40% holding of Aero contractors while 60% majority share remained within the Ibru family group.Currently, Aero is wholly owned by the Ibru family.
The Company started in the early 1960′s as an air charter operator.From this humble beginning in the 1970′s,Aero has gone-on to provide both rotary and fixed wing services to all the major oil,gas and related support companies working in Nigeria and in West Africa sub-region.
The airline which commenced scheduled commercial operation in 2000 “currently operates passenger services with the Bombardier Dash8 Q300 aircraft(a modern 50-seat pressurized turboprop aircraft) and the Boeing 737-400 and 500 variants with 104 to 144 seat.”
The EFCC had through the October 2010 court conviction of Cecilia Ibru confiscated a long list of assets which include

MAN IS AN ENEMY TO HIMSELF, WHY STEALING WHAT U DONT ACTUALLY NEED.THIS IS VERY UNHEALTHY, AND CRIMINAL,TAX PAYERS MONEY,
Material lust. But what shall it profit a woman, Cecelia Ibru, to earn all those wealth and spend eternity with naked soul, I assume she is a believer. Madam, all hope is not lost. You can rebuilt your life by submitting to the will of the Lord. For in Him you would find true happiness, peace and security. If this message gets to you, think about my suggestion. May the Lord be gracious to you, for He loves you.
Vanity,all is varnity.good name is beter than riches,but it is vanity when one loses riches,then good name in pursuit of vain riches,he may equaly loose eternity,i am very poor ,but sometimes,if i hear and see cases like that of Ibru,Tafa balogun,Bode goege etc ,i ask myself:VINCENT,ISNT IT GOOD U REMAIN LIKE THIS FOR U TO MAKE GOOD NAME AND POSIBLY HAEVEN,:but i am yet to answer this question pls give me answer
i think its now time for us Nigerians to rebrand our selves, u don’t steal what u don’t need. Looking at ibrus family ….
It is unbeleivable with these unwanted wealth she went ahead stole poor masses money like myself who invested in her bank for better tomorrow and now a loser. May God 4give her. Can others learn from her fate?
Its nt suprising
KAI!!! SHE NEEDS A SURGERY ON KLEPTOMANIA. WHERE THE HELL SHE GOT ALL THIS MONEY?
What a thief!!!!!!!
Wonderful points altogether, you just won a new reader. What could you suggest about your put up that you made some days in the past? Any positive?
GOD PASS THEM….
Vanity upon vanity is all vanity. Good name is better than riches
We pray from time to time that God will forgive them, those who stole our lives, happiness, tommorow and hopes.the masses are weeping, the sick are groaning, the workers are toiling, the infant are wailing, the pregnant mothers are dying. we are slaves in our own land. But the likes of Ciciliar Ibru should know that the meeds of men may be mild, but that of God is severe and painful to the extreme.
Madam ibru,why now for God sake…….
After all of these, let us pray that God who started the redemption in Cecilia Ibru should guide her to a genuine and complete repentance. She is lucky to have been found out now this is her opportunity to make a turn around. Deep within herself, she would know that there was a time she would have loved to stop but could not. That was the devil’s bundage upon her live. May are worse than her. .many own 100 times more all what is listed here and many more are also what were not found and retrived and many more of what is listed here would be restolen by other devil’s agents. The devil is at work people and if you give yourself in to be used, I promise you you would be used till you cry to come out and only when you look up to the cross shall you be saved. May God be with us now and always.
i believe she still have some shares with the devil. god will not forgive’ untill she returns those stolen money. shit’ what a mess?
she must pray for God,s forgiveness
It is all vanity upon vanity
Haba, with all these stupendous wealth, which less privilege children fees have you paid? Which homeless people have you housed and how many hungry people have you fed? You still have time to turn around and God will help you.
NO COMMENT!!!
mamaaaaaa, wish you Gods forgiveness.
I wonder why we don’t have the death penalty for such crimes in this country!
God is mercyful when u offend him. but if ur sins makes an innocent man suffer, their is no mercy for that. i believe cecilia will never no peace. she will surely suffer for it even if she repents and become a pastor. everytime someone who lost his job/investments in oceanic bank as a result of her theft cries, heaps of new sufferings will be metted out to her. the same goes to all corrupt officials, who take pride in stealing peoples future, God is not asleep. no pastor or imam will save u when the time comes unless you return all your loot.
are u guys saying she had all those properties then they should have renamed chariot way as ibrus…meen thats a lot of properties…she must havegotten many dedicated managers to see to the affairs,,,how many kids has she got in case when time comes to share it?….i think they would have enough to share unless they are greedy as their mun
Madam Ibru, I hope she has repented. May God forgive her.
Cecilia Ibru, madam you are a very professional thief i must confess, all these for you alone ? how many life terms were you expecting to live , lord have mercy upon all your mountain of fire bullshit you stooped so low in the end, you are a disgrace to empowered women.
