The embattled former Managing Director cum Chief Executive Officer of Oceanic Bank PLC, Cecilia Ibru, has been away from the social space since the outset of her travails. She 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. In addition, she forfeited assets worth billions of naira to the government.
Handed a six-month prison term, she took a backseat thereafter and ceased to be a social bird. Perhaps in a bid to re-introduce herself into the social circuit, the 67-year-old made a rare appearance at a wedding in Lagos penultimate weekend. Looking refreshed, not a few of the guests were surprised to see her and many only masked their shock by going over to exchange pleasantries with her.
