Maje Ayida has instituted a legal action against estranged wife, Toke Makinwa, over her tell-all memoir which he claims contained defamatory words, TheCable Lifestyle can report.

Through his lawyers, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) of Pinheiro LP, Ayida has initiated legal proceedings at the Lagos judicial division of the high court, Lagos state.

Kachifo Limited, publishers of the memoir, On Becoming, were also sued alongside the television personality.

Ayida is demanding N100m in damages in the suit which was filed February 7.

He has requested the court to donate damages awarded him to four charities which will be nominated by him.

The lawsuit is a follow-up on the letters of demand earlier served Makinwa in December 2016 by Pinheiro LP, which was exclusively reported by TheCable Lifestyle.

Ayida has demanded that she retracts the defamatory words contained in the memoir and to tender an unreserved apology in several national dailies.

The television personality has been served with the court papers, TheCable Lifestyle understands.

Makinwa’s book, On Becoming , had detailed her account of her relationship/marriage to Ayida, a fitness expert.

The pair married January 15, 2014, after being together for close to 12 years.

In spite of the initial letter of demand,
Makinwa has continued to promote her book via tours, book signings, and on social media.

Its not only lawsuit.
What a wild goose chase.

JeffreyJamez:


Why do you think it's a wild goose chase?

What she did was illegal on all levels.Shes lucky he's only asking for 100million. If it's in saner climes this is enough to wreck her and no publishing company would have published that book without seeing a signed document of consent from Maje. Either that or they'll change the names.

Berbierklaus:

Hmmmmmm.

isn't the book like a biography?
I really don't get how he got to sue her here

JeffreyJamez:

She defamed his character.

Berbierklaus:

She wrote about what he did to her.

I'm sure her lawyers will do a good job,he is getting nada.

JeffreyJamez:

Lol for monetary gains

Berbierklaus:

She deserves compensation for all the wasted years.

That woman is in her 30s without a child,its a painful situation

JeffreyJamez:


Now you sound like he forced her to stay lol....From all indications,she was the one forcing herself on him.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the guy was a saint but then again Toke should quit the theatrics and stop forming saint.

Berbierklaus:


I don't think she is,but its an unfair women.
Now he has a child,she has none after all the abortions she did for him?

At last we all say she wasn't forced
hmmmmm
