Yesterday, actress and president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima was slammed with a N10million fine by a Port Harcourt High Court for allegedly cheating beauty queen Munachi Chinenye Uzoma in the Miss Earth 2011/2012 pageant.
Ibinabo Fiberesima reportedly seized the crown and other entitlement belonging to the queen after she had won the contest.
Addressing the court yesterday, Justice Adolphus Enebeli said Fiberesima and AMC Productions LTD breached the contract they signed with the winner by subsitituting her with the 2nd runner up.
Uzoma expressed gratitude at the justice passed by the court.
“I thank God that the court has granted my request,” she said, adding, “What happened to me is unfortunate. I contested when I was young and I am 25 now, my dream was almost shattered. I am happy. You will be surprised to know what happens behind the scenes in every Beauty pageant. Thank God my case has been justified”, she said.
