Alleged defamation: Naira Marley sues Iyabo Ojo, demands N500m compensation

Embattled singer Afeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley has threatened to file a 500 million lawsuit against Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo for defamation

In a letter directed to the actress, Naira Marley’s counsel Olalekan Ojo (SAN) accused her of publishing false and malicious content on her Instagram account against the singer

The letter quoted an Instagram post published in September 2023 where Iyabo accused Naira Marley of dealing with late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, spiritually and physically.

The counsel to the singer also claimed that the actress accused his client of being complicit in the alleged death of Mohbad without clear evidence.

They, however, demanded a public apology to be published on the actress’s official Instagram account and in a national daily within 7 days of receiving the letter or risk legal actions

They said failure to do so would result in them commencing legal proceedings and they will demand damages of N500 million from the actress.
