Toke Makinwa Must Remove Defamatory Page Against Maje Ayida From Her Book – Judge

The defamation lawsuit between Toke Makinwa and her ex-husband, Maje Ayida is finally over.

Recall that Maje had sued Toke for her book that contained defamatory words to his person and misled the public.

Judging the case recently, Justice Ogunjobi of the Lagos State High Court at Tafawa Balewa Square ruled that the contents of page 54 line 11-16 and page 83, Line 1 of the 1st defendants’ book was indeed defamatory and damages of the sum of 500,000 Naira each to be paid by the 1st and 2nd defendants to any charity organization of Maje’s choice.

Toke Makinwa was also given 30 days from the day of the ruling to delete and remove the defamatory words from unsold copies of the book.
