Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has taken legal action against her colleague, Yomi Fabiyi.
She demanded N100m for damages caused by his ‘defamatory publication’.
The Nation reports Fabiyi had staged a protest on Wednesday demanding release of Baba Ijesha, who has been detained for allegedly molesting a minor on bail.
In a letter written by Ojo’s lawyers, The Maverick Forte Legal, it noted that during Fabiyi’s protest, defamatory statements which were attributed to Ojo were inscribed on some placards.
Some of the placards read: “Nigeria Police please allow the law to dictate to you not Iyabo Ojo, Princess and co; Please release Baba Ijesha.”
Another read: “Iyabo Ojo and Princess promised to kill Baba Ijesha if released on bail in this era?”
But Ojo denied making any statement to kill Baba Ijesha or unlawfully interfere with the responsibilities of the Nigeria Police Force.
