There seems to be a new twist to the current lawsuit saga between popular actress Iyabo Ojo and Naira Marley.
In a recent Instagram post, Iyabo OJo has hit back at Naira Marley’s 500 million Naira lawsuit, revealing her intention to counter-sue him for a staggering 1 billion Naira.
She expressed her disappointment with Marley’s unconventional approach, citing his decision to publicize the legal action online instead of directly contacting her or her representatives as unlawful.
Presenting documents from her legal team, OJo highlighted the irregularity of the situation, emphasizing that the letter, bearing her name and address, became public before it reached her.
The documents, bearing the official seal of the Nigerian Bar Association and signed by a high-ranking official, have bewildered OJo’s legal team, raising questions about the motives behind the premature press release.
The main issue of of Iyabo OJo’s argument lies in the calculated attempt to ruin her reputation by releasing the legal notice to the press before delivering it to her.
The actress’s legal representatives expressed their shock and confusion over the matter, hinting at the fact that this move was a deliberate effort to tarnish OJo’s hard-earned standing in the public eye. The controversy unfolds against the backdrop of OJo’s vocal condemnation of Naira Marley and Samlarry in the wake of Mohbad’s death.
Iyabo OJo, had also previously called out Naira Marley and Samlarry for physical abuse towards Mohbad and also accusing Naira Marley of drugging her children during an event. Her recent counter suit is a retaliation after Naira Markey had demanded a retraction of Iyabo OJo’s statements and a public apology or else a payment of 500 million naira.
