AGN Presidency; Popular Actor, Ochendo Loses Case Against Ibinabo

A Federal High Court in Lagos has struck out a
case instituted by popular actor, McSmith
Ochendo, seeking to remove Ibinabo
Fiberesima as the President of Actors Guild of
Nigeria (AGN).
At the court on Monday, Justice J. Yinusa ruled
that the matter brought before the court by
Ochendo lacks merit. The actor had gone to
the court seeking an injunction to remove
Ibinabo from office because she is an ex-
convict.
The judge stated that Ochendo cannot seek to
remove Ibinabo because he did not contest in
the election that produced the ex-beauty
queen as the guild's president. On that, the
case was struck out for lack of merit.
Speaking with Nigeriafilms.com after the
judgement, Ochendo said he would appeal the
ruling. He claimed that the matter, which was
brought before the court, was not addressed
by the judge. According to him, Ibinabo
shouldn't have contested the election in the
first place.
On her part, Ibinabo expressed her joy on the
outcome of the case in court. She described
the ruling as a victory for the guild.
Ibinabo has now spent over a year in office in
her two-year single term. She was sworn into
office in November 2012.
AGN, since her tenure started, has witnessed
some positive changes. She recently acquired
an 18-seater bus for the guild and also
introduced a health scheme for members of
AGN.
