To prove her innocence and
warn other magazines against
publishing falsehood against
her, star actress, Uche Jombo has
dragged a Lagos magazine to
court for libel and asking for
N100 billion.
Some weeks back, the magazine
went to town with a front page
story that the Glo Ambassador
aborted a six-month-old
pregnancy and as a result lost so
much weight. The magazine
claimed that the man
responsible for the pregnancy is
one footballer named
Okechukwu Uche.
The actress came out smoking
after reading the publication.
She denied the report and took
the magazine to the cleaner’s .
She issued two press statements
and instructed her lawyer to
serve the magazine a letter
demanding an apology and
retraction.
After the stipulated period of
grace for the magazine to
publish a retraction and
apologise expired, her lawyer,
Victor Ukutt Esq went to court
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 and
filed a lawsuit demanding N100
billion in a Lagos High Court.
A source close to the actress
said she is really angry and
determined to teach the
magazine a lesson.
