UNBELIEVABLE: Toke Makinwa’s Ex Husband, Maje Ayida, Hires British Lawyers To Sue Her For Doing This Against Him

Maje Ayida, Estranged husband of Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa, has asked her to stop the
sales of her tell-all memoir documenting her relationship with him and all forms of promotional activities.
Makinwa’s book, On Becoming, which was published November 27, 2016, by Kachifo Limited, was said to contain “defamatory words” in which the television personality accused Ayida of giving her sexually transmitted diseases, being a serial cheat and committing adultery.
According to TheCable, Maje Ayida has hired law firms in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria to handle the case. They are Carter-Ruck, a leading defamation law firm in the UK to top figures like Simon Cowell, Elton John and Chelsea FC while Kemi Pinheiro (SAN) of Pineiro LP is heading the legal front in Nigeria.
According to the letter of demand sent to Makinwa, her estranged husband was said to have “requested legal separation” from her “within 6 months” of their marriage in January 2014 — “when it became clear that the marriage was breaking down”.
The letter titled “letter of demand”, read;

“The book misleadingly describes the circumstances at the time,”

Pinheiro LP, the Nigerian law firm, said it was untrue that Maje had given her an “STI in the past or at any stage in their relationship.”

The law firm further noted that the publication has brought “public ridicule” on Maje, noting that his reputation has been “assaulted, injured and damaged.”

“His professional integrity as one of the leading health and wellness practitioners in Nigeria, and his professional credibility built over the years through dedicated hard work have been besmirched”,

The letter mandated Makinwa to “withdraw from circulation all copies of the book and take immediate steps to call in all copies of the book already distributed and deliver up same at the place to be agreed upon by our client for destruction.”

It further said a failure by the popular celebrity to “retract” the “published words” and tender a full page unreserved apology to Maje Ayida in three national dailies “will result in the commencement of legal action.”

Makinwa was also advised to “take immediate steps” to stop the distribution of the books on Amazon, iTunes and all forms of promotion on her social media accounts.
