Fiberesima currently serving a 5-year long jail sentence over manslaughter, murder and reckless driving which killed one Dr Suraj Giwa in Lekki Lagos in 2006 will be losing her third straight court cases this year alone after a Federal High court in Lagos stripped her of the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria( AGN) which has been on trial for a while now.

First, it was a Port Harcourt High Court who asked her to pay a sum of  N10m for cheating an ex beauty queen for breach of contract. She also lost an appeal to stop her 5-year jail sentence over the accident which claimed the life of a Lagos state doctor. The embattled president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria Ibinabo Fiberesima, was yesterday, stripped of her position as the president of the body by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.  The latest being the loss of her presidency battle for the AGN  to Emeka Ike. Actors Guild Of Nigeria’s National Secretary, Femi Durojaiye,made this known yesterday through a press release to that effect.

See the rest of the news after the cut.

The statement which states that “The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, this morning 23/3/2016 at the application and argument of Counsel to Actors Guild of Nigeria, Barr. Peter Andor Oboyi, struck out Ibinabo’s and BOT suit challenging the nullification of her election to the Presidency of AGN and also challenging the legitimacy of the Presidency of Emeka Ike and his Exco. The implication of this judgement is that Engr. Emeka Ike led Exco remain the only authentic and lawful leaders of Actors Guild of Nigeria. 

The Honourable Court vehemently reiterated the position of the judicial authority that, Ibinabo, her purported exco members and the Board of Trustees vacate forthwith the office of AGN both at the National and State level and accordingly surrender all AGN assets at their unlawful possession to the incumbent Engr Emeka Ike’s government."

Ibinabo Fiberesima an ex queen and a Nollywood actress was sentenced to 5 years in prison earlier this year after a Lagos High court nullified the judgement of a magistrate court which gave her an option of 100,000 naira fine in a manslaughter case involving an accident she was involved in over 10 years ago in which a life was lost. The case was brought back to a high court for trial as the earlier trial was done in a magistrate court which has no constitutional right to hear a murder case of such magnitude.
