Former banker, Maje Ayida has finally dragged his ex wife, Toke Makinwa to court over libel and slander with an order to stop the sale of her book.
Toke Makinwa and Maje Ayida during the good days
Toke Makinwa’s estranged husband, Maje Ayida has hired British lawyers to sue her over the controversial ‘On Becoming’ book which he says is an “exaggerated fabrication”.
He has also asked her to stop the sales of the book and all forms of promotional activities. The request was made of Makinwa by Maje Ayida, whose lawyers have also sent the on-air-personality, a “letter of demand.”
Makinwa’s book, On Becoming, had detailed her account of her relationship/marriage to Ayida, a fitness expert.
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”. The book which was published November 27, 2016, by Kachifo Limited, was said to contain “defamatory words”.
They prosecutors 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.
A TORI NEWS correspondent had earlier
attempted a critique of the book which he believes leaves so many unanswered questions about the lengthy romance between the duo.
