Nigerian music sensation and Marlian record label owner, Afeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, has taken legal action against popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo.
The move follows the release of a letter by Naira Marley’s legal team on Wednesday, December 13, alleging that Iyabo spread false and damaging information about him on her Instagram.
The letter specifically points to accusations by Iyabo Ojo, claiming that Naira Marley adversely affected Mohbad, whom he considers a mental brother.
Naira Marley is now demanding an apology from the actress and seeking N500 million in damages for the harm caused by the alleged false claims.
According to the legal notice, Naira Marley has given Iyabo Ojo the option to issue a public apology on her official Instagram account and a national newspaper.
Failure to comply with this request could lead to Naira Marley pursuing legal action against the actress.
