Ibinanbo Fiberesima has finally been stripped off her AGN Presidency after a fierce legal battle between herself and Emeka Ike.
Ibinabo who is facing a 5-year jail term over the accidental death of Dr. Suraj Giwa in a car crash which happened 10 years ago has been asked to step down as AGN President.
In a statement issued by the National Secretary of AGN, Femi Durojaiye, the actress who is the current president will step down while Emeka Ike takes over as the new president.
The statement read:
“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.”
Emeka Ike when confirming the developed to NEWS360 INFO in a telephone conversation said Ibinabo Fiberesima and her purported exco lacked locust standing to appeal the judgement.
