In a recent development, Afeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has issued a legal threat against Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo, demanding N500 million in damages. The artist, represented by legal firm Olalekan Ojo (SAN) & Co, accuses Iyabo Ojo of spreading false and malicious information about him on her Instagram account.
The legal letter alleges that Iyabo Ojo, in a September 2023 Instagram post, accused Naira Marley of engaging in spiritual and physical dealings with the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad. Furthermore, the actress is accused of claiming that Naira Marley played a role in causing mental harm to Mohbad.
Naira Marley's legal counsel has instructed Iyabo Ojo to issue a public apology on her official Instagram account and in a national daily within seven days of receiving the letter. Failure to comply within the stipulated timeframe will lead to the initiation of legal proceedings, with the singer seeking damages amounting to N500 million from the actress. The situation underscores the increasing significance of legal actions in addressing defamation and false accusations within the public sphere.
