Afeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, has issued a stern warning to actress Iyabo Ojo, threatening to sue her for a staggering N500 million. The development comes as a response to an Instagram post by Iyabo Ojo in September 2023, wherein she made allegations against the controversial musician.
Represented by Olalekan Ojo (SAN) & Co, Naira Marley's legal team sent a formal letter to Iyabo Ojo, accusing her of disseminating false and malicious content on her Instagram account. The crux of the matter revolves around Iyabo Ojo's claims that Naira Marley was involved in spiritual and physical dealings with the late singer Mohbad, also known as Ilerioluwa Aloba.
Naira Marley's counsel contends that Iyabo Ojo further accused the artist of causing mental harm to Mohbad. The letter, demanding an apology, stipulates a seven-day window for Iyabo Ojo to issue the apology on her official Instagram account and in a national daily.
Failure to comply within the specified time frame, according to the letter, will prompt Naira Marley's legal team to initiate legal proceedings against Iyabo Ojo. The lawsuit would seek damages amounting to a staggering N500 million, reflecting the gravity of the accusations and their potential impact on Naira Marley's reputation.
