Top Nigerian actor appointed as new AGN president
Nollywood Actor Emeka Ike as been confirmed as Actors Guild of Nigeria. Why Ibinabo Fiberesima was the former AGN. The Federal High Court stripped famous Nollywood actress Ibinabo Fiberesima, off her position as the president of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and appointed Nollywood actor Emeka Ike as the president. However, the court decision came eight months of battle between Ibinabo and Emeka Ike over the rightful leader of the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
Confirming the stripping off of Ibinabo’s position as the AGN president, the National Secretary of the AGN Femi Durojaiye, made this known in a statement that reads, “The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, on 23/3/2016 at the application and argument of Counsel to Actors Guild of Nigeria, Barr. Peter Andor Oboyi, struck out Ibinabo’s and BOT suit challenging the nullification of her election to the Presidency of AGN and also challenging the legitimacy of the Presidency of Emeka Ike and his Exco. The implication of this judgement is that Engr. Emeka Ike led Exco remain the only authentic and lawful leaders of Actors Guild of Nigeria.”
The Nollywood actress and former AGN president was handed a five-year jail term by Justice Deborah Oluwayemi, for reckless driving which caused the death of Dr. Giwa Suraj in a car accident along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos, about 10-years ago.
