John Abayomi, Online Editor for Punch newspapers, has threatened a lawsuit against the publisher of Linda Ikeji blog, Linda Ikeji, for publishing false and malicious story about him.

Abayomi through his lawyer, Falana and Falana’s Chambers claimed that the publication with the headline, ‘LIB Exclusive: Meet the owner of Instablog9ja-John Abayomi’ has put his life and that of his family in danger.

In the letter delivered to the blogger on Friday, Ikeji was asked to tender an unreserved apology within forty-eight hours or risk legal action.

Linda in the said publication had claimed that ‘the owner of instablog9ja is John Abayomi, a former online editor of Vanguard news and current online editor of Punch’.

However, Falana said the statement is untrue and unfounded, but only calculated to lower Abayomi’s esteem and damage his reputation and professional career.

“Your publication has put him in the harm’s way, thereby endangering his life and the lives of his family members. It has also attracted a lot of negative reactions from members of the public including celebrities who has been eager to know the face behind the blunt and sarcastic blog because of the method of reportage”.

“Your mendacious publication was clearly actuated by malice in that it was deliberately done to portray our client as an imposter, a fraudster and a blackmailer”

“In the light of the foregoing, we have our client’s firm instructions to demand an unqualified apology together with a retraction of the libelous publication in the edition of your blog (Linda Ikeji blog) in addition to having the retraction published on Instagram.

“However, if you fail or refuse to accede to our client’s demands within 48 hours of the receipt of this letter, we shall have no option than to initiate civil proceedings against you at the Lagos State High Court without further recourse to you,” reads the letter which was signed by Chukwuma Onwuemene (ESQ.).

A reliable source has also rubbished reports that Abayomi was summoned to a meeting by his employers, Punch Newspapers, over Linda Ikeji’s publication.

“It is totally untrue. There was no such meeting. John is a top-notch professional and everybody close to him, including his employers, are aware that Linda Ikeji’s publication was completely untrue,” the source said.

Anti Linda weyrey madam smelling to-to

Even if the rumour is true, John Abayomi needs to display this type of thing to refute the claim, just to please his employer;The Punch Newspaper that really frowns at such conduct or else, he would be thrown out of the media outlet in no time.

If the type of discipline being exhibited in the Punch is also happening in other media houses, I'm sure their would be sanity in the Nigerian media space.


As for Linda, I don't know but she needs to start investing in something else now that she is being thrashed in the Media industry. She is fast going down these days. It's likely most of her fans are even angried with her. I have never been one anyway

ok

Screw Apology, Sue her for all she's got. Next time, she'll remember to use words like 'Alleged' and 'Allegedly'. I even like the fact that it is Falz's father's chamber that is handling the case.

I stand with Abayomi only if he stands with Atiku.
But I'd never stand with Linda because of the stench from her underneaths.

Linda is a cocky monster.
She'd never apologize.

Linda use goat take set trap

The sperm thief again....


She deserves it

She wants to forfeit that Banana Island house they bought for her
