“I have not had any cause to see him or to be in the same room with him, not to talk of being one of his ‘side chics’.

“Hello, I am married, happily married, I have two beautiful children and I have always been above board in my dealings with everyone.

“So for a blogger, a jobless wicked blogger to decide to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is totally wicked and totally unfounded, it is a lie from the pit of hell,” she said.

Additionally, in the letter by the actres’s lawyer, Agbakoba, SAN, sighted by theNewsGuru.com (TNG) the blogger was given 24 hours to retract all offensive publications against Dakore, and told to refrain immediately from making further defamatory comments about the actress.
