See you in court, Tonto Dikeh reacts to Jane Mena N500m damages demand: Tonto Dikeh has dared dancer and Instagram personality Jane Mena to go ahead with a demand for N500m in a notice of litigation over alleged defamation of character.
Mena demanded retraction and damages of N500m from Dikeh over claims of cyberstalking and criminal defamation.
Last month, the movie star in an Instagram post, alleged that her ex-boyfriend, Prince Kpokpogri, is in possession of Janemena’s old and recent sex tapes.
“This may be a good time to say @janemena this man has so much of your sex tapes with him in his possession(old and very recent),” the post reads in part.
Jane Mena, who did not react to the allegation at the time, responded with a notice of litigation.
The notice written on behalf of the Instagram dancer by her solicitors, Rockson Igelige, of Felix, Igelige & Associates, described Tonto’s claims as damaging and malicious.
“These malicious publications and in the context in which it was made, meant and Janemena understood it to mean the following amongst other things:
“Janemena who is a married woman had and is still having an amorous or sexual relationship with Prince Kpokpogri (referred to in the publications as Joseph Egbri) who is not Jamena’s husband.
2. Janemena is cheating on her lawful husband.
3. Janemena has sex tapes.
4. Janemena distributes sex tapes.
5. Janemena’s sex tapes (old and very recent ones) are in possession of PRINCE KPOKPOGRI (Joseph Egbri) with which he will use to blackmail our client any moment from now,” the petition read in part.
Jane Mena demanded an immediate retraction of the said publications by Tonto Dikeh on her social media handles and a publication of same in four national dailies.
She also demanded that the Tontolet tenders an unreserved apology to her and pay N500million as exemplary damages for the malicious publications.
Her lawyer further warned that legal action will be taken against Dikeh if she does not meet their demands within one month of receiving the petition.
Tonto Dikeh has also reacted to petition filed against her, daring Jane Mena’s lawyer to go ahead with taking a legal action.
Dikeh wrote: “If I say your sex tape exist I say it again and again child, you can’t be begging me behind the scene to save your marriage and begging to see me for an appointment to explain yourself and then come with a petition.
“Am not as dumb as your boyfriend so I wouldn’t be releasing your tape nor call a week ago. See you in COURT.”
