Nollywood actress Dakore Egbuson Akande has launched legal proceedings against the faceless gossip blog Gistlover following allegations that she was romantically involved with Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Gistlover’s claims included that Akande was among Akpabio’s alleged sidechicks, a list which purportedly included other celebrities.
In response to these accusations, Dakore Egbuson Akande, who is also the sister of actor Timini Egbuson, has publicly rejected these claims. She stated that she had never met Akpabio and emphasized her commitment to her marriage. She shared on social media that the legal action is aimed at obtaining a retraction, an apology, or other legal remedies for the defamation. The actress clarified that her earnings come from her work in the entertainment industry and not from any alleged illicit relationships.
Reactions to Akande’s legal move have varied, with some expressing support for her decision to take action against the blogger, while others are skeptical about the effectiveness of such measures. Fans have voiced their opinions on social media, with some applauding her for standing up against false allegations, while others question whether the blog will adhere to the legal demands.
