Guess the battle line has officially been drawn. A few weeks after
sending a letter of demand asking his estranged wife, Toke Makinwa to
retract the words in her tell-all memoir, On Becoming, to stop the sale
of the book, copies that haven't been sold should be retrieved and for
her to tender an unreserved apology in several national dailies, which
Toke, of course, ignored, Maje Ayida has instituted legal action against
Toke, asking for N100million in damages over the book he claims
contains defamatory words that do not represent his person.
According to The Cable, Maje's lawyers began legal proceedings at Lagos
High Court on February 7th. Toke's publishers, Kachifo Limited are also
being sued alongside Toke.
In his suit, Maje asked the court to donate any damages awarded him in the case to four charities which he will pick himself.
