Actress/Ex-Beauty Queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima has granted bail following her 5 year jail sentence and remand to the KiriKiri women’s prison on manslaughter charges. The actress has been on trial since 2006 for dangerous and reckless driving, which led to the death of Suraju Giwa, a medical doctor.

On February 20, 2009, the Lagos State High Court overruled the initial judgement of the Magistrate Court which sentenced her to seven years imprisonment with a N100,000 fine option. The High Court then sentenced Ms. Fiberesima to five years’ imprisonment without the option of fine. She is however seeking an appeal of the judgement at the Appeal court. As Ibinabo is a single mother and sole care-giver of her three children, supporters and relatives are pleading with the court for lenience.
Our prayers are with Ibinabo and the family of the deceased.
