Mercy Aigbe’s Hubby Lanre Gentry Released from Prison + Vows to Tell the World about Incarceration Experience
Today would have been his eighth night in prison but luckily for the 52-year-old hotelier, Lanre Gentry, he has met the bail condition of N500, 000; provision of tax verification and two sureties, one of whom must own property in Lagos State.
You will recall that Lanre was arraigned last week before a Magistrate Court 1 sitting at Ogba, Ikeja, on a three count offence bordering on breach of public peace, assault and causing grievous bodily harm to his wife, Mercy Aigbe, (read here).
Gentry was earlier remanded in Ikoyi Prison as he couldn’t meet up with his bail conditions. He has now been released.
He confirmed this in a post on Instagram and has promised to grant an interview to reveal his experience in Prison.
Hours later, Gentry took to his Instagram page early this morning to call for prison reforms as he shared on his experience while he was in Kirikiri prison awaiting the fulfillment of his bail conditions.
While advocating for prison reforms, Lanre stated that government shouldn’t leave its primary responsibilities such as prison decongestion, and start getting involved in issues such as domestic violence.
His statement, however, got some of his followers infuriated, as they asked 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, and so does he, as a result, he doesn’t need anyone’s advice on what to post.
