BBNaija All Stars: Lawmaker threatens N10bn suit against Venita, find out why

Hon. Dickson Tarkighir, a member representing Makurdi/Guma Federal Constituency of Benue State in the House of Representatives has threatened a lawsuit against Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Venita Akpofure and organizers of the reality show for “defaming” the Tiv Nation.

This comes after Venita in a conversation on the reality show claimed that “Tiv men give their wives to visitors for entertainment purposes.”

Her comments sparked an outrage among the Tiv people of North Central, Nigeria, with many calling for legal action against her.

Consequently, Hon. Tarkighir has said Venita and the Big Brother Naija brand should be sued for giving her “the mega platform to defame the Tiv tribe.”

On his Facebook page, he wrote: “#Venita Akpofure- Slam a 10BN defamation suit on her, the Big Brother brand and its promoters, they provided her with the mega platform to defame an entire tribe and are equally liable for not disowning her.”

Venita has two daughters with Terna Tarka, a Tiv man from Benue State.
