Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has dragged the management of Instablog9ja, and actress Eniola Omoshalewa Eunice to court over a malicious content written about him, the Punch reports. He is demanding N15m in damages for defamation of character, according to the reports. Recall that towards the end of 2017 actress Eniola Omoshalewa Eunice, accused filmmaker and actor, Yomi Fabiyi, of demanding s*x in exchange for a movie role about nine years ago.

According to the woman, who is now a realtor, Fabiyi demanded sex in exchange for a role in a movie.

 

She wrote via her Instagram page, “This stupid guy, I remember my encounter with him about nine years ago when I was so passionate about acting. I was happy when I met him as he promised that he would feature me in a movie that very day.

 

“I was so excited, I quickly called my people that I wouldn’t be coming home as I was going to a movie location. Only for him to tell me that I couldn’t sleep in a separate room when we get to the location at Ikorodu. That we have to sleep together and he would have s*x with me before he could feature me at all. He said it was a normal thing for all actresses. I was so heartbroken. You know what this guy did when I told him I couldn’t do it? He just dropped me along the expressway in the middle of the busy road in Ketu. I cried till I arrived home. My mama consoled me like a baby (sic).”

 

The actor has denied the allegations and vowed to get justice. Speaking exclusively to Saturday Beats from London, where he was on vacation, the actor said that the reason why he took the matter to court was that people often feel that celebrities are easy preys for cyberbullies.

 

“It is true that I have dragged Instablog9ja and the so-called actress, Eniola Omoshalewa Eunice, to court and I am very sure that they have been served the court papers. The court writ came out on January 3, 2018, so I believe that the court would have served them the papers about three days after the writ came out. Everything is left in the hands of the court. I think from the day they were served the court papers, they have about 42 days to respond and when they do, the trial will start.

 

“Aside from the civil suit, I am confident that after the police carry out their investigation, they would also be detained for cybercrime and criminal blackmail. Social media has become so dangerous lately that anybody who has issues with you can just cook up falsehood about you and publish it on all these blogs and this could tarnish a person’s image.

 

The actress has denied receiving any court papers at the time of filing this report.
