Read Time:1 Minute, 59 Second
Following a court order served to Nollywood actor Jim Iyke, asking him to pay the sum of 15.7M to a lady by the name Habiba Abubakar, the actor’s manager has revealed that the case is still in the court and there is no definite answer from the side of the actor presently.
In a chat with The Nation, the manager, simply known as Sam, further stated that by the end of the week, the actor’s camp should be able to come out with a more concrete response.
Reports alleged that the actor, having been dodging the court for years, has finally been found guilty over the infamous suit Habiba filed against him.
Recall that Habiba accused Jim of owing her the sum of N16.5 million some years ago.
She said: “I run a charity organization called Elderly and the Poor, a self-sponsored charity organization. Jim Iyke needed help for his aged mother who is crippled by leg problems and high blood pressure and now bed-ridden. We took her to both England and India.”
As reported, during the court session, Habiba had proof of the UK visit, as the actor’s mum had stayed with her in her UK residence where she took her for a complete health checkup.
“We were told what was wrong with her and how much her hospital stay for knee replacement will cost my charity in UK and we have a policy for money, so we decided to take her to India in first class because it’ll be cheaper there, attached are tickets, photos as exhibit no,” she claims in the court reports.
The report further claims that Jim Iyke finally ran to her for assistance, wanting her to help his new clothing line grow by investing in it, she had no option than to invest, even though she was told by many people that he is bad, but she didn’t want to judge him by what others said.
“Jim told me he has been on the street since age 11 and that he had no childhood. I cried, because I had a son of that age at that minute. It was really heart breaking. But I realize now that you can take a person off the street but you can’t take street off the person, no matter what you do,” the report also states.
