I would not comment on the judiciary or law enforcement here. They are well known, celebrated failures. The level of corruption there will not make for meaningful reforms anytime soon. We've heard it from the slammer. They want high profile clients not for correctional reasons but so they can partake in the loot. Same goes for the judiciary. What I am more concerned about is power of poverty and the overt connivance of the larger society not to the crimes directly but the path to them. The other day a chap made what I considered very incriminating postings on the forum about James Ibori and his investments in Canary wharf. We are the same people that complain about these fellows yet because of poverty ? we aid them in either committing these crimes or enable them enjoy the proceeds thereof.

We all know Redington, well the calibre of those who run that hospital. These are knowledgeable individuals. At the very least I would view in very bad taste an institution that would shield such an individual from the law. Don't get me wrong. If that woman is ill she deserves full medical attention but if that hospital is knowingly shielding her from the law it is equally culpable in the case and by extension is not helping the judiciary and society at large.

She is probably a high net-worth client but we know this pales into insignificance when that hospital tallies the cost of this bad economy. Someone somewhere should begin to teach Nigerians that the quality of the society we all desire is a summation of our individual actions. No hospital in the developed world will try this especially this high p[profile case. We should all pull together to defeat wrongs wherever we find them.

Lately with the frequent downsizing in banks a lot of posters have been crying out. Fine, but don't we know who is doing right and wrong. What have we done on our part to stand up to it or better avoid the consequences thereof. If today a memo crosses your desk saying the MD of your bank has started transferring huge amount of cash overseas shouldn't you set the stop clock for your layoff. If your client is heavily involved in shady government contracts what makes you think he should be the cornerstone of your business. This is self deceit. Foolhardiness.

Fellows, the ball is in our court. This thing affects us all. Our attitude to this rubbish must change. Preserve your jobs, preserve your future. This corruption thing is slowly killing us all.

No comment !!!

I thought it was vendetta or victimization.she proved me wrong six months is too small.it will encourage others to do the same

na2day!:


oh really?

Lol. I know that .gifs are nothing new but it cracks me up to see some of these ones here. Who ever invented them, did us a great favour .

@buzugee if you've never heard of the Ibrus, na wao.

this is another way of avoiding the prison, by putting her in the hospital where everything she needs will be provided for her is otherwise like puting in one of her house, this is not the right way of her dispensing her punishment. , well we are in Nigeria where the rich are over the law, directly or indirectly.

y wld he hear dat the ibrus? u think eveybody in 9ja is an idol worshipper? or criminal worshipper?

She can stay in the Royal suite or whatever the hospital calls it but the fact remains that she is a convict.

james1:

We pray for her quick recovery;she is sick,no faking.
Mrs Ibru is not a thief;mismanagement is not stealing.beside's she is returning 199b in asset and capital.

Why is she returning 199b in assets and capital which is not stolen?

somebody pleaded guilty and some backside licker come on nairaland to defend the person. These are the same peeps calling people saying the truth "haters". Somebody steals peoples hard earned sweats and uses it to enrich themselves and when people talk, they are labelled haters, beefers, etc. May be some of you don't know how people sweat honestly to make N10,000 which has went down the drain due to the looting by these bankers.

This is a precarious situation.A medical personal should visit Madam thief at Kirikiri. Why should they allow her to go to Redington hospital.This country were the President is always apologizing to her citizens almost everyday of my life tells me that GEJ is not experienced and not a good decision taker.

we are doomed.

@orangemen, Shut up if you have nothing to contribute. Did GEJ influence the judgment?

@na2day. Thanks for passing the knowledge

i know how so many people suffered bc of this shameless woman,now they are busy giving her presidential treatment,naija is a finished country

I was going to make acontribute to this tread but found out that a lot of people are angry,misinformed,and do not understand the situation reading through the tread breaks my heart because sometime people just get happy at the fact that they want to see the rich cry go through this womans story of the bank and how she grew the bank you will know that to surving competition in Nigeria you have to play the way every body plays.
Every Bank MD does this but she was the only one sold out buy her own workers check you will find out that all the assets that were in question were in the name of the bank or its subsidiaries.Unfortunately she was not given an opprtunity to defend herself. You should all ask God to forgive you for your comments against this woman that has made Thousands of her workers Millionaires.
Check the details and you will see that you cannot steal from yourself that is how the bank is to her.
What has gotten her into this is the dialetic of rule of Banking as put down by CBN.
People get informed and stop relying on what you see in the pages of the newspaper there is more to this

na2day!:

When Justice Dan Abutu sentenced former Oceanic Bank Plc managing director, Mrs. Cecilia Ibru to 18 months imprisonment last Friday, [size=16pt]after the accused pleaded guilty to three of the 25 charges brought against her,[/size] he made a pronouncement: The convict should be taken to prison and after two hours she should be taken to hospital.



Saturday Sun gathered that as the judged order, Mrs. Ibru was taken to Kirikiri Prison, Lagos from the court premises, after the judgment and thereafter moved to what would serve as her prison cell for now, after she was book as a prison inmate. The former bank chief executive was moved to an elite medical centre, Reddington Hospital, Victoria Island, Lagos, where he is receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment. She would remain in the hospital until doctors certify her fit to be discharged.

The Reddington Multi-special Hospital, located at 12, Idowu Martins Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, is a newly built nine-floor medical centre. It is on the site of the previous renowned Cardiac Centre and provides fully comprehensive tertiary hospital solution in all medical fields.
Investigation revealed that a standard ward in the hospital goes for between N30, 000 and N90, 000 per night. One of these rooms, which the accounts officer referred to as Josephine Ward, goes for as low as N30, 000, for Nigerians, while the prestigious Royal Suite goes for N90, 000 per night.
Checks at the hospital revealed that the hospital is well organised and has the elite and rich Nigerians as clients. To show how classy the hospital is, visitors are thoroughly screened before being allowed access.

Owing to Mrs. Ibru’s presence, security has been beefed up, thereby making entry into the hospital difficult. Those who are deemed not to have genuine businesses into the hospital, are denied entry. Those who are visiting patients are only allowed in if clearance is got from persons on admission.
It was gathered that Mrs. Ibru is in one of the Royal Suites in the hospital and being watched by prison warden. The warden restricts access to her in the hospital, except to doctors from Reddington Hospital and the prison. Before any visitor is allowed access to her room, such a person has to write to the prison and if approval is given, he/she would see the prisoner.

When Saturday Sun sought to know why Mrs. Ibru is still in hospital, one week after her sentence, the Lagos Prison Command Public Relations Officer, Ope Fatinikun, said that the law permits that. According to him, the prisons activities are guided by the law, adding that the prison was only obeying the instruction of the judge that the convict should be taken to hospital.

He, however, said that the Lagos Prison has good medical facility to take care of prison inmates. “We have medical professionals, whose duty is to ensure that all medical issues are promptly attended to. We are under the law and answerable to the law. The judgment said that she should be kept in that hospital. We had no choice but to obey. When she was convicted, the prison officials did their job while she was moved to the hospital immediately,” he said.
The prison PRO also said that now that Mrs. Ibru is on admission, the hospital has become an extension of the prison.

He said: “The truth is that prison is an extension of the prison; over there our wardens are there to ensure that she is restricted within the confinement of the prison. There are also security men to ensure compliance and no one can have access to her except through us. The person is expected to apply and if she gives her consent, the visitor would be granted access. We hope that as soon as she recovers, she would be transferred female prison.”

Since the hospital is an extension of the prison, does it mean that the prison authorities would pick the bills?
Fatinikun explained that the Nigerian prison would not pay a dime since Mrs. Ibru was not admitted in the prison hospital.
How would the prison know when Mrs. Ibru is fit to leave the hospital? Fatinikun said that wardens and doctors are monitoring he progress.
“We have our prison warden in the room with her and our team of doctors do visit her to certify when she can be transferred to the female prison,” he said.
[size=15pt]A prison warden, who pleaded anonymous, told Saturday Sun that the former bank chief’s stay in hospital is bad news for the prison, as her presence within the confine of the prison could cause the improvement of the facilities.

She said: “It would have been a good one at least for the female prisons. The male prison has received a lot of changes because of the category of inmates that were convicted. The female inmates were rejoicing when they heard that Ibru was convicted but all got sad when the news came that she might not see the four walls of the prison. It is really unfortunate.”[/size]
Ibru had pleaded guilty to three of 25 count charges of fraud and mismanagement. She was sentenced to six months imprisonment on each of the charge, which would run concurrently.
In sentencing her,[size=16pt] Justice Abutu ordered that the former bank chief should forfeit property and assets valued at N199 billion.[/size]

Why did she plead guilty and ordered to forfeit. Which bank will allow its assets to be forfeited because of a case against MD?

plus akinnoba you already made your contribution promoting corruption because you benefited from it.
