Mercy Aigbe's husband, Lanre Gentry in Kirikiri prison
The battle continues as Lanre Gentry, the supposed husband of
Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has been sent
to the Kirikiri Prison in Lagos.
This was after Gentry’s arraignment before an
Ikeja Magistrate Court for alleged battering of
Aigbe.
He was taken before the court by the Lagos
State Government.
Among the bail conditions, which Gentry could
not immediately meet, was producing two
sureties in the sum of N500,000 each. The sureties must also show proof of tax payment
and own houses in Lagos with title documents.
By the time Gentry got the sureties, the
presiding magistrate was said to have closed for
the day.
Mrs Yewande Aje-Afunwa, at
Ogba Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, therefore ordered Gentry to remain in prison custody until
his bail is perfected.
The police charged Gentry with three counts
of breach of public peace, assault and causing
grievous bodily harm on mercy. He pleaded
not guilty.
Peter further added that, Gentry unlawfully assaulted
his wife by beating her with physical blows all
over her body.
Gentry was further alleged to have caused
Mercy Aigbe grievous bodily harm after giving
her a blow on the nose, with blood gushing out.
The case has been adjourned till 12 May.
