POSTED ON December 14, 2023 •   Celebrity Gossips      BY Ebiakuboere England

Nigerian entertainer Afeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, has filed a lawsuit against actress Iyabo Ojo, citing false and defamatory statements on her Instagram account.

Olalekan Ojo, Naira Marley's lawyer, summarized the claims made in a September 2023 article, noting that the actress accused Naira Marley of indulging in spiritual and physical contacts with the late musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, in a letter written to Ojo.

Naira Marley Sues Iyabo Ojo For Defamation, demands N500m

According to the lawyer, Ojo accused Naira Marley of causing mental harm to Mohbad, whom he referred to as a brother.

Naira Marley charges Iyabo Ojo of defamation and demands N500 million in Mohbad.

Naira Marley's lawyer is suing Ojo for N500 million in damages and a public apology.

The lawyer requested that the apology be posted on Ojo's official Instagram account and printed in a national newspaper.

Failure to comply with the condition imposed on Naira Marley, according to her counsel, would necessitate the filing of a lawsuit against her.

The letter in part reads, “We are solicitors to Azeez Fashola (a.k.a. Naira Marley), an internationally renowned British and Nigerian singer/artist with over seven million followers hereinafter referred to as our client under whose instruction we write concerning the above headed subject matter.

“It is necessary to preface this letter by stating that in recognition of the iconic status of our client, the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) engaged him to use his skills and platforms to put out content that will discourage millions of his followers and Nigerian youths from substance abuse.
