Court Upturns Ibinabo’s Election As AGN President

It’s so early in the new working week but Ibinabo Fiberesima now has a legal issue to deal with. A Federal High Court has voided the election of the former beauty queen and actress as the President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN).

A ruling by Justice James Tsoho this morning, March 16, 2015, said the election that ushered the 42-year old into office was conducted against a standing court order, in a suit filed by an actor identified as St. Maradona Mikevine.

Mikevine served as the National Treasurer in the factional exco led by Emeka Ike as AGN president and had filed the suit to contest Ibinabo’s election as AGN president. Court filings indicate that Mikevine approached the court praying for the nullification of the election, saying the same was conducted in the face of a subsisting court order restraining the conduct of the AGN election.

 The said subsisting court order itself had been the product of another suit filed by Emeka Ike since July 25, 2013.
