Popular Yoruba Movie actor, Yomi Fabiyi, has reacted to the legal action taken against him by his colleague, Iyabo Ojo.
Iyabo Ojo is demanding ₦100 Million as payment for damages caused by Fabiyi’s ‘defamatory publication’ during a protest held on Wednesday 12th May.
The protest demanded the release of Baba Ijesha held by the police for allegedly molesting a minor.
In response to Ojo, Fabiyi, during an Instagram live session, said the actress cannot get a dime from him. He further noted that the actress cannot serve him a legal letter via social media.
“Where would I get ₦100million from? Which house do I have to sell? If you write ₦100million, once they bring all the people involved in the case, they would (by themselves) reduce the money to ₦10million. At the end of the day, they would still not get a dime from me.
In the sense that if I refuse to collect the letter, you would keep pursuing me to collect it from you. After then, if I so wish to respond, I would only respond to whoever has a case with me.” He said.

Iyabo Ojo had demanded through her lawyers that within 14 days, Fabiyi “publishes a full retraction of the said defamatory publication on his Instagram handle for seven consecutive days and acknowledge that the allegations are false, misleading and entirely defamatory of client’s character.”
She added that the retraction and public apology must further be circulated and published by select media outlets.
The letter also demanded that Fabiyi “ceases and desists from making further, additional or fresh defamatory publications against our client on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and on any other social media, social messaging blog and/or print media outlets.
Also, ₦100 Million must be paid as damages for the unjustifiable injury and losses occasioned by our client caused by your defamatory publication.”
Failure to comply with the demands within 14 days would result in an initiation of legal proceedings without delay.
