Lanre Gentry, Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe’s husband, has been remanded in prison custody until he meets his bail conditions of N500,000 and two sureties, who reside in Lagos and have landed property.
He was docked before a Magistrate’s Court 1 sitting at Ogba, Ikeja, yesterday, on a three-count charge under the State Criminal Law, 2011.
Gentry’s appearance before the court came barely six days after another magistrate Court barred him from coming close to the actress and the two children in her custody.
Gentry, who was alleged to have physically assaulted his wife, Mercy, appeared before the court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against him by Lagos State
It would be recalled that the state government waded into the case after the actress reported her husband through Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, DSVRT.
During the court proceeding yesterday, the trial magistrate, Mrs. Y. O. Aje-Afunwa, granted the defendant N500,000 bail after he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
