Written by Ameyaw Debrah | Posted Tuesday, November 10, 2009 | 0 Comments


Former beauty queen and popular Nigerian actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima, has been sentenced to seven years imprisonment for manslaughter which she pleaded not guilty. She was alleged to have killed a medical doctor in a road accident last year after what investigators describe as “careless” driving under the influence of alcohol.

It was reported that the actress was dragged to court by relatives of the deceased due to her attitude towards the issues.  She was earlier fined by a lower magistrate court to the sum of N100, 000 (about $1,000) which she has almost paid according to the report. The presiding judge at the hearing opposed the fine which he described as unreasonable and decided to imprison her in addition.

Many Nigerians have welcomed the decision in a country which they say “there is no justice for the poor’’. The Nigerian judiciary is said to be “weak’’ and “corrupt.’’

Wow, so its true. I heard this story a long time ago but i thought it was just a rumor. I feel her pain.

This same seven years story was reported over two years ago - which one is true?
