Following the release of a book "On Becoming" which documented her relationship with Maje Ayida, Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa, has been asked to stop the sales of the book and all forms of promotional activities.
According to Cable Ng, the request was made of Makinwa by Maje Ayida
In the book, the television personality accused Ayida of giving her sexually transmitted diseases, being a serial cheat and committing adultery.The legal documents describe the book as nothing but “exaggerated fabrication”.
TheCable Lifestyle has learned that Maje Ayida has hired law firms in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria to handle the case.
They are Carter-Ruck, a leading defamation law firm in the UK to top figures like Simon Cowell, Elton John and Chelsea FC while Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) of Pineiro LP is heading the legal front in Nigeria.
According to the letter of demand sent to Makinwa, her estranged husband was said to have “requested legal separation” from her “within 6 months” of their marriage in January 2014 — “when it became clear that the marriage was breaking down”.
Makinwa was alleged to have signed a legal separation agreement in July 2014.
It further said a failure by the popular celebrity to “retract” the “published words” and tender a full page unreserved apology to Maje Ayida in three national dailies “will result in the commencement of legal action.
She was given seven days upon receipt of the letter to comply with the demands or they’d be forced to seek legal redress.
The warning letter was said to have been delivered to Makinwa on Monday, December 23, 2016.
At the moment, Toke Makinwa is in Ghana on a promotional tour of the book.
OK oh so that is Toke's house address let's see how it goes?
ReplyDeleteI have been expecting him to take legal action.
It is only fair that we hear his side of the story. UK lawyers are ruthless when you sell sleezy stories.Toke needs a very powerful lawyer here in the UK. Whoever advised her to reveal so much I bet will not be picking her phone calls now.So her Publishers is a naija.hmmmmm! No publishers worth its salt will agree to publish book full of smears & damaging allegations. She should have left him & go quiet. Simple. She has to cough out a lot of money to pay lawyers here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteNot too sure of naija lawyers as some are too corrupt 4my liking. Shame on those who advised Toke to write this book. I really feel sorry for Toke. This is indeed a bitter pills to swallow.
