The Lagos State Court of Appeal, on Thursday directed actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima to appear in court for judgment in her appeal against a five year prison sentence, handed to her by a Lagos State high court in 2009.
The President of the Actor's Guild of Nigeria had been sentenced to five years in prison, without option of fine, for a 2009 driving incident which had resulted in the death of one Dr Giwa Suraj. The incident happened on the Lekki Express Way.
At the hearing of the appeal on Thursday, the presiding judge, Justice U.I. Ndukwe - Anyanwu reserved judgment in the case after counsels adopted their written addresses. Justice Ndukwe - Anyanwu ordered the former beauty queen to appear in court on the date of the ruling, which would be communicated to the parties in the suit.
If the judgement of the Lagos high court is upheld, Ibinabo Fiberesima might just be on her way to prison
