Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has filed a lawsuit following false allegations against her.
Days ago, a viral claim circulated about the actress reflecting on her journey. Vanguard claimed that Adunni had lamented that her beauty and appearance couldn’t keep a man. According to the publication, Adunni revealed that her single status wasn’t due to a lack of value but rather the realization that beauty alone doesn’t keep a man.
Adunni went on to urge women to focus on building more than their looks, reiterating that beauty alone doesn’t sustain love or build lasting relationships.
The post read,
“I used to be the centre of attention – admired, desired and blessed with a beauty that opened doors. Yet, here I am, still unmarried”.
Reacting to the false news, the movie star had earlier threatened legal action against the media outlet and other outlets as she debunked making such statement.
Keeping to her words, Adunni has filed a lawsuit against the publications, calling for an immediate cessation of the dissemination of false and unverified information pertaining to her character and reputation.
The mother of two noted how people have been exploiting her name and brand for social media notoriety for too long and now, she is determined to take it seriously.
“To Whom It May Concern,
I hereby request the immediate cessation of the dissemination of false and unverified information pertaining to my character and reputation. Such actions constitute a criminal offence under the applicable legislation, specifically the Criminal Code and the Cyber Crimes Act.
In particular, Section 24 of the Cyber Crimes Act imposes penalties for the creation and distribution of false messages intended to inflict harm. Additionally, Section 375 of the Criminal Code Act addresses the issue of defamation, imposing more severe consequences for the deliberate publication of false and defamatory statements.
It is crucial to understand that exploiting my name and brand for social media notoriety has persisted far too long. I am determined to take this matter seriously moving forward. This publication is totally false. I did not grant this interview.
Please take this notice as a final warning to avoid being implicated in any further unethical dissemination that could have legal consequences”.
Adunni Ade had called out an InDrive rider for absconding with her order. She revealed that the rider ended the trip before getting to her and had refused to pick up. Adunni vowed to go the crãzy route if her order wasn’t delivered.
