Lil Frosh Counters Defamatory Suit, Demands Public Apology and Damages
Nigerian singer Lil Frosh has responded to the N200 million defamatory suit filed against him by actor Yhemolee, challenging the claims and asserting the factual accuracy of his previous statements. In a letter shared on social media, Lil Frosh's legal team refutes the allegations, demanding a public apology and significant damages from Yhemolee.
Background:
Yhemolee had earlier initiated legal action against Lil Frosh following the singer's public accusations of assault. In response, Lil Frosh's lawyers dispute the notion that their client's claims were malicious or false, asserting that they can be substantiated by witnesses and videos from the incident.
Legal Counter:
In the letter shared on Lil Frosh's Instagram page, his legal team dismisses Yhemolee's claims as baseless and unfounded, describing the demands made in the lawsuit as "bogus." The response challenges Yhemolee to retract the suit and issue a public apology to Lil Frosh, along with a written undertaking that ensures no further threats, assaults, or public embarrassment.
Monetary Compensation:
The letter further outlines Lil Frosh's demands, including a payment of N500,000,000 (Five Hundred Million Naira) in damages. The singer's legal team emphasizes the seriousness of these demands and sets a 14-day deadline for compliance.
Legal Consequences:
Should Yhemolee fail to meet the stipulated demands within the given timeframe, Lil Frosh's legal team warns of the singer's intention to institute a "stringent civil suit" against Yhemolee. Additionally, they plan to submit a petition to the Nigeria Police Force, urging a thorough investigation into the matter.
Lil Frosh's legal response adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing dispute, signaling a potential escalation into a legal battle. The demands for a public apology and substantial damages underscore the seriousness with which Lil Frosh views the situation, and the legal developments are likely to draw further attention as the case unfolds.
