Oritsefemi’s estranged-wife sets to sue singer over defamatory comment

Nabila Fash, the estranged wife of Nigerian singer, Oritsefemi has said she will file a lawsuit against him for defamation.

Recall that while speaking with Chude Jideonwo, Oritsefemi, said that his ex-wife was unable to get her pregnant.

He also claimed that she had over “21 miscarriages.”

He also alleged that she sent like 20 boys to beat him up.

The singer said;

“Nabila had 21 miscarriages, yet she still tells me, Oritsefemi, that I can’t impregnate her. My wife asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. I said, ‘Look at me, lion, women they pursue’. They are up to 20, and they beat me, and I’m not lying.”

While reacting to the claims by the singer, Nabila’s attorney, Rockson Igelige of Rockson Legal, said the allegations were fabricated.

Oritsefemi has now been given fourteen days to retract the defamatory statements and threat in the cease and desist notice he’s been served.

According to Nabila’s lawyer, failure to retract the defamatory statements will push his client into taking firm legal action, both criminal charges and a civil claim against him.

It read;

“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.

“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.”
