Famous Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has taken to social media to support her colleague, Iyabo Ojo, after she replied to the N500 million libel suit filed against her by Naira Marley.
Recall that Naira Marley in a letter signed by his legal representative Olalekan Ojo (SAN) & Co, accused Iyabo Ojo of publishing false and malicious content about the singer on her official Instagram account.
In the letter, Naira Marley’s lawyer also highlighted a series of comments made by Iyabo in September, stating that the content was harmful and caused substantial harm to Naira Marley’s reputation.
Iyabo Ojo was asked to tender public apology on her official Instagram account and in a national daily within 7 days of receiving the letter failure of which will result in the commencement of legal proceedings with a demand for damages of N500 million from her.
Iyabo Ojo reacted in a counter lawsuit filed by her legal counsel The Maverick Forte Legal and said she is looking forward to meeting the musician’s legal team at no distant time so they can iron out the case in court.
Iyabo claimed that the lawsuit filed against her by Olalekan Ojo (SAN) was deliberately circulated on social and print media without deserving courtesy to serve her personally.
Iyabo Ojo also faulted Naira Marley in her lawsuit for his failure to serve her the suit by hand or through mail, which could lead to blackmail and is thus demanding N1 billion from the singer for deliberately misleading the public.
Iyabo Ojo’s move has been supported by her colleague Tonto Dikeh who declared on her Instagram page that they would end the battle with Naira Marley together, while also expressing her support for her.
Dikeh wrote: ‘‘We start together, we end it together…Regardless #JusticeForMohbad #WeGetCoconutHead
