Appeal Court grants Ibinabo Fiberesima bail. Photo: FiledEmbattled Nollywood actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima has been granted bail today.
She was granted bail in the sum of N2million and two sureties who reside in Lagos in like sum at the Court of Appeal in Lagos.
The former AGN president, who was sentenced to 5 years in prison, had earlier requested for a bail but was turned down by a three-man panel led by Justice U.I Ndukwe-Anyanwu, on the grounds that the application was not properly filed as her counsel failed to attach copies of the judgment that was delivered by the court which affirmed the five years jail sentence imposed on her.
Meanwhile, the Rivers State-born actress and her legal team had approached the Supreme Court to set aside the March 11 verdict of the Lagos State Court of Appeal which validated the 5 year jail term earlier handed down to her by the state’s High Court over the 2006 accident in which a car she drove killed a medical doctor, Suraj Giwa in Lagos.
