Iyabo Ojo counter-sues Naira Marley, demand N1 billion

Controversial Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has counter-sued Naira Marley to the tune of N1billion after being served a N500 million lawsuit by the latter for defamation of character.

The Nation reported that Azeez Adeshina Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, had dragged Iyabo to court, demanding a public apology or face legal proceedings worth N500 million in damages.

In his lawsuit, Naira accused the actress of defaming him by posting false and malicious content about him on her Instagram page.

In response, she stated that the singer’s lawyer never thought it was worthwhile to serve her the lawsuit privately, preferring to disseminate it online.

The fearless mother of two had also filed a lawsuit, a counterclaim, against him for failure to serve her the suit by hand or through mail, which could lead to blackmail.

The movie star is demanding N1 billion from the singer for deliberately misleading the public.

“She wrote: RESPONSE TO THE LETTER FROM MR OLALEKAN OJO SAN DELIBERATELY CIRCULATED OVER SOCIAL AND PRINT MEDIA WITHOUT DESERVING COURTESY TO SERVE ME.

“I look forward to hearing from them in no distant time, please. Yours sincerely, Iyabo Ojo.”
