"The 30-year-old pleaded not guilty to an offence of assault occasioning actual bodily harm at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Friday. The alleged assault took place in Lambeth, south London, on December 14, the court heard. Ibe, who made 41 appearances for Liverpool before spells at Derby County, Birmingham City and AFC Bournemouth, was told his trial will take place at the same court on July 14."
"The Metropolitan Police previously said Ibe was arrested at Luton Airport on January 30 and he was charged last month. Ibe, of Chislehurst, Bromley, south-east London, was released on conditional bail at the end of the 13-minute hearing and ordered to next appear in court for his trial."
"In January, it was reported that Ibe was facing court over an allegation he tried to get sleep medication using a fake prescription. He was accused of using a bogus prescription to try to obtain insomnia drug Zolpidem on two occasions. It is claimed the footballer used an alleged fraudulent prescription at the Hornsey Road pharmacy, in north London, on May 24 2024, and returned four days later to obtain more of the same medication."
