Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has responded to the N500 million lawsuit filed against her by Azeez Adeshina well known as Naira Marley.

VerseNews reported on Thursday, last week that Nair Marley dragged Iyabo to court, demanding a public apology from the controversial actress or risk facing legal proceedings which could amount to N500 million as damages.

In his lawsuit, Naira accused the mother of two of defaming him, alleging that the actress published false and malicious content about him on her Instagram page.

Now reacting to it, she noted how the singer through his lawyer never found it worthwhile to serve her the lawsuit privately, rather it was being disseminated online.

The fearless mother of two had also filed a lawsuit, a counterclaim, against him for failure to serve her the suit by hand or through mail, which could lead to blackmail.

Before now, Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Iyabo, had taken to her defense, noting how Naira was yet to resolve issues of Mohbad’s catalog and unpaid royalties, yet was filing a lawsuit against her mother.

Blasting him for his audacity, she pointed out his hypocrisy of suing her mother, when there are videos of him bullying Mohbad before his untimely demise.

She went on to slam Nigerians for calling her mother a clout chaser because of her fight for Mohbad and how they are reading meaning to her content on the Real Housewives of Lagos reality show.

Also taking to her defense, her lover, Paul Okoye, stated that his lover didn’t say anything bad about Naira Marley.

He made it known that he had listened to all the things that Ojo said and there was no defamation of Nara Marley’s character in it.

The talent management added that his lover’s lawyer would contact the singer. And if they cannot resolve the case amicably, they would end up in the law court and it would be settled over there.

Amid the lawsuit, actress, Ufuoma McDermott poured praises on Iyabo Ojo, asserting that Iyabo is intentionally and consciously fighting for better, is a voice of reasoning, is an imperfect human but has a perfect heart, and is an all-around good human.

She stated that Iyabo Ojo always has her utmost respect now and always.
