"The Law is no respecter of Persons" - Grace Amah on Ibinabo Fiberesima’s Conviction

Nollywood actress, Grace Amah has also learnt her voice over the conviction of AGN president, Ibinabo Fiberesima, calling for prayers for the talented actress who has been sentenced to 5 years in jail for the death of Suraj Giwa, a Lagos-based doctor 10 years ago.

Grace joined the litany of celebrities who have called on their fans to pray for the embattled Ibinabo. The veteran who sees Ibinabo as her ‘colleague, mentor and friend,’ took to her Facebook page to make the call.

She wrote:

“Life is a journey. It comes with the good, the ugly and the bad. It comes with joy and sorrow. It brings moment of comfort and moment of discomfort. The news of the conviction of one of the Nigerian best in the entertainment industry and best President ever recorded in the leadership of the Nigerian Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has come with mixed feelings.

At a glance, it has come to show that in normal society, the law is no respecter of persons. At a second look, it shows the cross that a public figure has to carry as a good example to the society. The former beauty Queen in Nigeria and one of the most celebrated Actor would not have wished to cause human death. But as it were, the accident that happened 10 years ago, which took the life of the deceased was never premeditated. It was unfortunate it happened.

May the soul of the deceased continue to rest in the Lord.
