Nabila Fash, the ex-wife of Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi, has threatened to sue him for defamation and threats to her life.
KanyiDaily recalls that in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Oritsefemi claimed that Nabila blamed him for their inability to have children, saying she had suffered 21 miscarriages during their marriage.
The singer, who has a child with another woman, also accused Nabila of conspiring with her friends to attack him in his home, which has caused further trouble.
Nabila Fash, through her lawyer Rockson Igelige of Rockson Legal, said these accusations are false.
They sent a cease-and-desist notice to Oritsefemi which reads: “We write to you to cease further defamation of and threats to our client.
“You know for a fact that the above-quoted statements, amongst others, that you made during the said interview are all concocted lies designed to disparage, tarnish, and damage our client’s character and to bring her to public ridicule and hostility.
“This is so as our client did not at any time send any of her friends to beat you up nor had 21 miscarriages during her now judicially dissolved marriage to you. Our client takes exception to your defamatory aspersions designed to taint and destroy her reputation.”
Nabila’s lawyer gave Oritsefemi fourteen days to retract his statements and threats, warning that if he doesn’t, they will take legal action, including criminal charges and a civil lawsuit.
“We, therefore, demand that you cease defamatory statements against our client. We further demand that you immediately stop referring to our client as your wife and stop threatening anyone around her.
“Our client sued you for divorce (the dissolution of your marriage), and the High Court of Lagos State judicially dissolved the marriage on 21st March 2024,” the lawyer said.
Mr Igelige added that Oritsefemi’s allegations were meant to harm Nabila’s reputation and are a serious criminal offense under Nigerian law.
KanyiDaily recalls that Nollywood actress, Caroline Danjuma also threatened to take legal action against Oritsefemi.
