Our attention has been drawn to a complete false and defamatory
story against our client, Mrs. Roseline Chinyere Chukuma, widow of the late
famous broadcaster, Chaz B, written by a blogger .
The story has
since gone viral on the internet with unimaginable number of readers passing
negative and derogatory remarks about the person of our client.
We are constrained to inform the public that the said story
is malicious, false, unethical of media practice and disparaging to the
personality and integrity of Mrs. Chukuma.
Hence we have decided to seek redress in the court of law and to
make such infamous unethical practices unattractive by making the originator of
the story face commensurate legal consequences of her action. This, we
believe will serve as deterrent to other blackmailers in the media space
in Nigeria.
The story has alleged a romantic affair between our client and a
fast-rising Nollywood star, Daniel Kanayo Daniel, aka DKD, in a very
derogatory manner. It also insinuates a simmering rancour between our
client and her in-laws over the estate of her late husband. The highlights of
the story include:
• That she was in Ghana with DKD during Valentine
• That DKD’s mother kicked against the relationship
• That her brother threatened to harm DKD for coming to their
house
• That she is 14 years older than DKD
• That her daughter, Monalisa, was sighted in a picture on
DKD’s Facebook fan page
* That both of them had been sighted in public places
* That both of them had been sighted in public places
We can confirm to the public that all these happened only in the
imagination and dream world of the author as both Mrs. Chukuma and DKD had
NEVER met at anytime or anywhere. The author of the story will meet us in court
to lay bare her proofs very soon.
Signed.
