Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, on Monday, responded to a letter by Olalekan Ojo, lawyer of Nigerian singer, Naira Marley.

In her reply, Iyabo demanded N1bn from Naira Marley over the failure to serve her a pre-action letter.

According to the document published on the Instagram handle of the actress (@IyaboOjofebris), Iyabo demanded the amount over Naira Marley’s act of “deliberately misleading the public.”

Earlier, Naira Marley had demanded a public apology and N500 million in damages from Iyabo.

An Instagram post by Iyabo in September 2023 was cited.

She was said to have allegedly accused Naira Marley of engaging in “spiritual and physical dealings” with popular late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad which allegedly caused the late act’s “mental harm.”

“It is our instruction that sometime in September 2023, you maliciously and falsely published of and concerning our client on your official Instagram handle ‘iyaboojofespris.’

“Your publication of the above words on the Internet which is readily accessible to users of the system constituted a serious libel and has caused our client colossal damage to his reputation.

“Our client requires you within seven days after the receipt or delivery of this letter an unequivocal retraction.

“The public apology is to be published on your official Instagram handle, @iyaboojofespris, and also on one national daily.”

Responding, Iyabo, through her counsel said, “Our client would’ve ordinarily dismissed your letter dated December 12, 2023, for being outrightly inconsequential and of no relevance, premised on your failure to transmit the correspondence till this very day.

“Our client finds your client’s demands spurious, frivolous and clout-chasing but shall initiate an action in case your client fails to do so. Our client shall be claiming the sum of N1bn.”

Mohbad, a former signee of Naira Marley died September 12 at the age of 27.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Seyi Awolowo, has vowed never to return to the show if given the opportunity.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Old Secrets podcast, Awolowo lamented that he allowed himself to be bullied by “very low, insignificant and uneducated people” by accepting to be on the show and vowed not to allow that again.

He explained that if he could go back in time, he still wouldn’t change any of his actions in the house, stressing that he has already been chastised and have learned from his mistakes.

He, however, lamented the attitude of some educated elites who also joined in bullying out of convenience.

“I will never go back to the show, Multichoice can’t even call me…

“I allow myself get bullied by very very insignificant and uneducated people. Not to mention the educated ones amongst that have the ability to see the truth but because of convenience, refused to stand by it,” he said.
