Toke Makinwa ex-husband, Maje Ayida sued her over her book 'On becoming' where she revealed all that happened in their 13-year relationship and how he got his girlfriend pregnant while married to her.
In his suit, Ayida demanded that
the book be withdrawn from circulation, recall all copies distributed and hand
them over to him for destruction because of the defamatory and misleading comments made against him.
Justice Ogunjobi of the Lagos
State High Court at Tafawa Balewa Square who ruled on the case on
Thursday, November 12, stated that after careful consideration of the evidence
before the court, it finds only the contents of page 54 line 11-16 and
page 83, Line 1 of the 1st defendants’ book as Defamatory.
The
court according to the report, granted an injunction preventing the defendants
from producing copies of its book with the defamatory words on pages 54 and 83.
The Court thereafter granted damages of the sum of
500,000 Naira each to be paid by the 1st and 2nd defendants to any charity
organization of the claimant’s choice.
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 in her custody.
