Mercy Aigbe’s hubby fails to meet bail conditions, to spend 7th day in prison

Lanre Gentry, the hotelier husband of Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe is set to spend the seventh consecutive night at the Kirikiri prison after failing to perfect his bail conditions due to the fact that all magistrates in Lagos were having a conference, thereby stalling his release.

Lanre who appeared before Magistrate Mrs O Aje- Afunwa Ogba of the Ikeja Magistrate court last Tuesday over charges of assault and domestic violence leveled against him by his wife, was granted bail in the sum of N500, 000 with two sureties in the like sum.

Aje-Afunwa also ordered that the sureties must show proof of tax payment and own a house in Lagos with title documents.

In a related development, Lanre could face up to three years in prison if found guilty of the charges leveled against him by a magistrate court in Lagos.

The hotelier who has been charged on three counts of domestic violence, assault, and threat to life could spend that much time in prison if the court finds him guilty after his wife accused him of battery and claimed that she has been enduring an abusive marriage.
