Halima Abubakar, a Nollywood actress, has sparked outrage online with her 30 billion lawsuit against the Actors Guild of Nigeria.
Last week, Creebhills reported that the Guild suspended Halima Abubakar for defaming her colleagues and other prominent Nigerians.
In a statement on their official Instagram page, the body said that a comprehensive inquiry had been conducted by a set panel, which found the actress guilty of the claims. She was accused of slandering her coworkers and customers, as well as having an adulterous affair with a prominent member of society.
In response to the case, Halima launched a lawsuit against them through her lawyers, P.D Pius & Associates, seeking $30 billion in damages. She expressed disbelief over the accusations, claiming that she was never invited by the Guild to clear her name before seeing news of her suspension circulating on social media.
Halima’s legal representatives condemned the AGN president’s actions, accusing him of deliberately tarnishing her reputation. The letter emphasized that the false narrative was intended to denigrate her, cast aspersions on her, and stir up social media opprobrium.
The solicitors demanded the immediate removal of the defamatory publication and an unreserved public apology on the AGN president’s Instagram page within seven days. Additionally, they demanded N30 billion in damages for reputational harm.
Halima, through her lawyers, said if her demands are not met within seven days, they will be heading to court to seek redress”.
