Lanre Gentry, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe is under fire currently and his wife’s fans would not let him be.
The hotelier, who was recently imprisoned over assault on his wife but later released on bail, shared a post on Instagram which caused much furore!
Obviously out to shade his wife, Mercy, the post had a woman with bandages and tubes on her
Trust fans! They dealt with him with their words.
Lanre Gentry pulled down the post and replaced with this:
“You will never understand the damage you did to someone until the same thing is done to you. That’s why I am here—Karma”
The seven-year-old union which produced a son made headlines when on Friday April 28; photos of a battered Mercy Aigbe-Gentry went viral online!
She was said to have been battered by her husband, Lanre Gentry and had suffered injuries on her face.
The actress moved out of her marriage, reported to the Anti-Domestic Violence Unit of the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and the husband was charged to court. He spent seven days at the Kirikiri prisons after which he was released on bail.
The case is still in court but adjourned till July.
Recall that the State Government in a letter written through the Directorate of Public Prosecutions, DPP, May 22, has indicated its interest in prosecuting the alleged case of assault. The request for the case file shows Government’s resolve not to back down from the case between actress and her husband.
