Nigerian entertainer Afeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, has initiated legal proceedings against actress Iyabo Ojo, accusing her of disseminating false and defamatory content on her Instagram account.
In a letter sent by Naira Marley’s lawyer, Olalekan Ojo, the allegations stem from a September 2023 post where Iyabo Ojo purportedly accused Naira Marley of engaging in spiritual and physical dealings with the late singer Mohbad, also known as Ilerioluwa Aloba.
The lawyer asserts that Ojo accused Naira Marley of causing mental harm to Mohbad, whom she referred to as a brother. Seeking redress, Naira Marley’s attorney is demanding N500 million and a public apology.
The apology is requested to be posted on Ojo’s official Instagram account and published in a national daily.
Failure to comply with these conditions would prompt Naira Marley’s legal team to pursue a lawsuit against Ojo.
The letter emphasizes the serious impact of the false accusations on Naira Marley’s reputation, resulting in widespread damage and public ridicule.
