Filmmaker-cum-Music promoter, Seun Egbegbe, has become a forgotten man, and everyone has moved on like he
never existed.
When
Egbegbe’s trouble started, his ex-girlfriend, actress Toyin Abraham, was not
even pregnant. She now has a child, yet Egbegbe is still in prison. The
socialite has spent 31 months in jail due to inability to perfect his bail
conditions.
In
February 2017, he was arraigned by the police for an alleged fraud involving
N39 million; $90,000 and £12,550. It was learnt that the N5 million bail bond
was yet to be paid neither have any sureties come for him.
Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo of the
Federal High Court had ruled that the filmmaker be granted bail once he met
requirements.
The conditions were that one of the
sureties must be a civil servant who had attained level 16, while the other
surety must be a landowner in any part of Lagos metropolis. The landowner must
submit a Certificate of Occupancy for the landed property, while the civil servant must submit his international passport to the court.
Also, the sureties must swear to an
affidavit while the house and office addresses and a telephone number.
