Jailed Nollywood actress,Ibinabo Fiberisima seeks bail, heads for Supreme Court
The Court of Appeal in Lagos on Thursday fixed April 7 to hear a bail application by Nollywood actress, Ibinabo Fiberisima, who was jailed five years for manslaughter.
Ibinabo was sentenced by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi of a Lagos High Court, for reckless driving and causing death.
She was alleged to have recklessly driven a car which resulted in an accident along the Lekki-Epe expressway, Lagos, causing the death of Giwa Suraj.
The deceased was said to be a staff of a Lagos State government hospital.
On Thursday, Counsel to the Ibinabo, Nnaemeka Amaechina, informed the court of an application dated March 14 adding that same had been served on the respondent, (Lagos State Government).
The court, presided by Justice UI Ndukwe-Anyanwu, noted that in the processes before the court the applicant failed to attach copies of the court’s judgment, affirming the jail term handed by the lower court.
The application was, however, adjourned to April 7, to enable the appellant regularise the processes.
Meanwhile, Ibinabo has asked the Supreme Court to set aside the judgement of the lower court.
