Maje Ayida Allegedly Demands N100million From Toke Makinwa Over Her Book On-Becoming


Maje Ayida has instituted a legal action against estranged wife, Toke Makinwa,
over her tell-all memoir which he claims contained defamatory words...

Through his lawyers, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) of Pinheiro LP, Ayida has initiated legal proceedings at the Lagos judicial division of the high court, Lagos state.

Kachifo Limited, publishers of the memoir, On Becoming, were also sued alongside the television personality.

Ayida is demanding N100m in damages in the suit which was filed February 7.

He has requested the court to donate damages awarded him to four charities which will be nominated by him.

The lawsuit is a follow-up on the letters of demand earlier served Makinwa in December 2016 by Pinheiro LP, which was exclusively reported by TheCable Lifestyle.

Ayida has demanded that she retracts the defamatory words contained in the memoir and to tender an unreserved apology in several national dailies.

Toke has already been served with the court papers....

Makinwa’s book, On Becoming, had detailed her relationship/marriage to Maje Ayida in a way that almost broke the Internet..

The pair married January 15, 2014, after being together for close to 12 years.

In spite of the initial letter of demand, Makinwa has continued to promote her book via tours, book signings, and on social media.
