Justice J. Yinusa ruled on December 2, 2013, Monday
that the matter brought before the court by Ochendo lacks merit.
The actor addressed court seeking an injunction to
remove Ibinabo from office because she is an ex-convict.
Justice J. Yinusa stated that Ochendo cannot seek
Ibinabo’s removal because he did not contest in the election that produced the
ex-beauty queen as the AGN President. Therefore the case was struck out for
lack of merit.
However, Ochendo will not give up. In his interview
with Nigeriafilms.com after the judgement, the actor 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, the AGN President expressed her joy on
the outcome of the case in court. She described the ruling as a victory for the
guild.
It would be recalled Ibinabo
Fiberesima has now spent over a year in office in her two-year single term. She
was sworn into office in November 2012.
