A well-known Instagram dancer, Usiwo Orezimena Jane, fondly called Jane Mena, has threatened to sue Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh for N500m, for libel of personality.
Recalls that sometimes in September 2021, the actress in a post shared on her Instagram page disclosed that her ex-boyfriend, Prince Kpokpogri has sex tapes of every woman he has slept with, which also includes the dancer, Jane Mena
The dancer, who is a married woman has however filed a petition before the Police against Dikeh, and also demanding an apology in four national dailies in Nigeria for defamation of character.
The petition was written on her behalf by her solicitors, Rockson Igelige, of Felix, Igelige & Associates, portraying Tonto Dikeh’s claims as malicious.
The dancer also requested a retraction of publication by the actress on all her social media pages.
Part of the petition read: “These malicious publications by Tonto and in the context in which it was made, was understood by Jane Mena to mean the following amongst other things: Jane Mena who is a married woman had and is still having an amorous or sexual relationship with Prince Kpokpogri (referred to in the publications as Joseph Egbri) who is not Jane Mena’s husband. 2. Jane Mena is cheating on her lawful husband. 3. Jane Mena has s*x tapes. 4. Janemena distributes sx tapes. 5. Janemena’s sex tapes (old and very recent ones) are in possession of PRINCE KPOKPOGRI (Joseph Egbri) with which he will use to blackmail our client any moment from now.”
Jane Mena also asked that the actress tender an unreserved apology to her and pay the sum of N500 million as exemplary damages for the malicious publications.
Jane Mena’s lawyer also notified Tonto Dikeh that legal action would be taken against her if she failed to meet their demands within one month of receiving the petition.
