Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor known otherwise as Mama G has reacted to a land-grabbing allegation against her.
Recall that the star actress had earlier been accused of seizing the land belonging to a widow and her daughter by their late patriarch.
Reacting to the allegation, the actress denied the claims, noting that she bought the land legally with the consent of the widow.
Ozokwor further stated that it was the widow who approached her agent for the sale of the land in 2010 but attempted to resell a portion of the land without her approval, which led her to fence off the property.
She described the allegations as blackmail, fraud, and malicious, noting that the women were exploiting her public image to attract sympathy and donations.
She threatened to sue the woman and her daughter saying, “Social media is not a court”.
Ozokwor thanked her fans and supporters for standing by her and assured them that the matter would be resolved through legal channels.
She wrote, “In 2010 – 15 years ago, I bought a piece of land. The landowner was aware of the sale. In fact, she was the one who approached my agent to help her find a buyer
“Fast forward last year, 14 years later. The previous owner decided it was a great idea to sell a plot out of my land without my knowledge. I got the information, went and fenced my land.
“Next thing I see, the owner and her daughter on social media crying and accusing me of taking the only land their husband and father left them.
“This is blackmail, fraud and malicious intent. I am marvelled that they could viciously lie and castigate me for their own selfish intent. They are using my name to trend and get pity from people. I see that their plans are working because some people are donating to them and calling me unprintable names.
“As social media is not a court, I am pursuing legal means to vindicate my name because it took years to build and is my source of livelihood. There is so much more that I could have done, but I chose to let the law take its course.
“I am disappointed that some other bloggers reposted and shared the content without due diligence. Now I say to you “Meet Me in Court”. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me on this incident. I appreciate you all. #MamaGLovers.”
