The
Appeal court said it was granting the actress bail pending the determination of
a suit filed by her at the Supreme court.
Ibinabo
was recently slammed a 5-year jail term by the Court of Appeal in Lagos with
Justice Jamilu Yammama Tukur saying that the appeal was shallow and
lacked merit.
She
(Ibinabo) was alleged to have collided with the car of a staff of Lagos State
hospital, Giwa Suraj as a result of reckless driving on the Lekki-Epe
Expressway in February, 2006.
Meanwhile,Segun Arinze has joined
the list of supporters scouting for the release of Ibinabo Fiberesima,
actor and former president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. Arinze prostrated in
a video to appeal to the family of late Dr Giwa who was killed in an accident involving
Ibinabo urging them to forgive the actress.
Ibinabo,
was sentenced to five years in prison by a Lagos high court after being found
guilty of manslaughter.
