Court Orders VeryDarkMan to Pay Mr Jollof’s Wife N30m Over Defamatory Claims
A Federal High Court in Effurun, Delta State, has ordered social media critic VeryDarkMan to pay N30 million in damages to Mrs. Esinjemiyotan Atsepoyi, wife of comedian Mr Jollof, over defamatory statements.
The lawsuit followed allegations made online in 2024 accusing Mr Jollof’s wife of having affairs with politicians and internet fraudsters. The court ruled that the claims were defamatory and unsupported by evidence.
Justice R. Harriman also directed VeryDarkMan to issue a public apology in two national newspapers and across his social media platforms within 14 days.
