On May 9, Mercy Aigbe's estranged husband, Lanre Gentry was
arraigned before an Ogba Magistrate court on a three count charge offence
bordering on breach of public peace, assault and causing grievous bodily harm
on his wife. He entered a not guilty plea and the presiding magistrate, Mrs O.
Aje-Afunwa granted him bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in the
like sum.
Both sureties were to show proof of tax payment and own a verifiable house in
Lagos with title documents.
Gentry was earlier remanded in Ikoyi Prison as he couldn't meet up with his bail
conditions. He has now been released. This he confirmed in a post on Instagram
(even after denying ever being in charge of any social media account) and has
promised to grant an interview to reveal his experience in Prison.
Hours after he was released from Kirikiri prison after
fulfilling his bail conditions, the estranged husband of actress Mercy Aigbe,
Lanre Gentry took to his IG page early this morning to call for prison reforms
as he shared his experience while he was in Kirikiri prison awaiting the
fulfillment of his bail conditions.
While advocating for prison reforms, Lanre stated that
government should not leave what they ought to do, such as prison decongestion,
and focus on issues such as domestic violence.
This got some of his followers infuriated, asking him if it is when he had
killed his wife that the government should have stepped in. Lanre in response
said, everyone has Freedom of speech, as well as he does and doesn't need
anyone's advice on what to post.

Involvement of government in domestic issue is not bad.
