The personal assistant to embattled Nollywood actress,
Ibinabo Fiberesima has raised an alarm over the health
status of her boss after the latter bagged a 5-year jail
term for reckless driving.
Fiberesima, the president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria
(AGN) was on Friday, March 11, sentenced to five years
imprisonment by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi of the Lagos
high court, over the death of one Dr Giwa Suraj, whom she
knocked in an auto-crash along Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Fiberesima had through her lawyer, Nnaemeka Amaechina,
urged the court to set aside the sentence and restore the
decision of the Magistrate Court which sentenced her to a
N100, 000 fine.
But the court refused to take in her appeal, thereby
dismissing the appeal and affirming the high court’s
judgment.
The light-skinned actress, Vanguard reports, is said to be
in a precarious situation as her personal assistant, who
spoke over the phone, informed that she just had an
operation and that it may affect her state of health.
This may have led her to ask Nigerians to pray for her as
she reportedly broke into tears after the judgment on
Friday, but her PA confirmed that, “My boss has been
feeling unwell since the judgment was delivered. We are
afraid it doesn’t affect her health. She just had an
operation.”
