Nigerian actress, Iyabo Ojo, has respond to the N500 million lawsuit of Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, and counter-sued for N1 billion.
Naira Marley had threatened to sue Iyabo Ojo for N500 million accusing Ojo of publishing false and malicious content about him on her Instagram account.
In a letter through his counsel, Olalekan Ojo (SAN) & Co, Naira Marley accused Ojo of sharing a post on September 2023 where she accused him of dealing with the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, spiritually and physically.
The singer also stated that the actress accused him of destroying Mohbad mentally.
The Marlian boss insists the actress must publish an apology on her official Instagram account and national daily within 7 days of receiving the letter, and failure to do so would result in them commencing legal proceedings against her.
In response, Iyabo Ojo, in the countersuit shared via her Instagram page on Monday, expressed displeasure that the letter bearing her name and address was published online before getting to her.
The movie star stated it was a deliberate attempt to ruin her reputation by releasing the legal notice to the press before delivering it to her.
She noted that eyewitnesses are willing to testify in court regarding the claims Naira Marley referenced in his suit.
The actress demanded one billion Naira from the singer for deliberately misleading the public to cause harm to her.
