The Federal High Court in Port Harcourt slammed the top Nollywood actress and former president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima, with a N10m fine in a case instituted against her by ex-beauty queen Miss Earth Nigeria 2011/2012, Munachi Chineye Uzoma.

The case was presided over by Justice Adolphus Enebeli, who in his judgement agreed with the complainant, Miss Uzoma, that there was actually evidence to prove that Fiberesima and AMC Productions Limited breached a contract signed on October 28, 2011, by cheating her out of winning a beauty contest.
